Installation
Phase 3: Prepare the Router Hardware
| 1. | Disconnect the router from any directly connected FDDI ring. |
| 2. | Connect the bypass switch to the FDDI ring by plugging the MIC A |
|
| and MIC B connectors from the FDDI ring into the corresponding ‘‘A’’ |
|
| and ‘‘B’’ ports in the bypass switch. (For details on connecting to the |
|
| FDDI ring, refer to the instructions for your bypass switch.) |
| 3. | Ensure that the bypass cables are keyed properly to allow only the |
|
| connection of the ‘‘A’’ cable to the router’s ‘‘MIC A’’ port and the ‘‘B’’ |
|
| cable to the router’s ‘‘MIC B’’ port. (Refer to the instructions for your |
|
| bypass switch.) |
| 4. | Connect the bypass cables to the FDDI ports as shown above. |
| 5. | Insert the DIN connector on the bypass unit into the Optical Bypass |
|
| jack on the HP Router BR. |
|
| |
N o t e | The router will not detect the presence of a new connection to the FDDI | |
| ring until you reboot the router (which is covered later in this chapter). | |
