Optional Peripherals

At least one node in the network (or network domain if a structured network) must include a Strata-View Plus network management station (see Figure 2-14). A Y-cable may be used to connect the LAN ports on the primary and secondary BCC Line Modules, through an AUI to the LAN network, as only one BCC is active at a time. The serial Control port may be connected to a dial-in modem for remote service support or other dial-up network management access. The serial Auxiliary port is used for outgoing data only, for example, for connection to a printer.
