Rack Installation
How to connect the Cards to the Data Network
Introduction Each Switch Card installed in the Rack can be connected to the corporate LAN via a Remote Access Server or Terminal Server.
A standard RS-232 DB9 male connector plugs into the appropriate COMA port (COMB not used for Model 3100 Analog Cards) on the Rack backplane. Each Switch Card acts as a DCE. When a remote module connects to a Switch Card, the pair extends the RS-232 port to the remote location.
Note: The connections are shown in Figure 3.3. (see Table
3-6in this Chapter, for more detailed information about RS- 232 DB-9 pinouts)
