Chapter 2 - Installation
2.1Preliminaries
This chapter covers MT2834 installation and connection. In addition to the contents of the MT2834 package, you will need the equipment listed below.
2.1.1Card Cage
The MT2834 is designed to mount in the Multi-Tech Systems' modem rack (see Section 2.2 for various models available). This rack is an EIA- standard 19-inch wide by 7-inch high rack, and mounts in any standard computer cabinet. The rack has a sixteen modem slot capacity, one power supply source (the CC1600 series card cage has a redundant power supply capability), sixteen 25-pin (female) connectors for RS232C/V.24 interface and sixteen DB9 (female) connectors for phone line (the CC1600 series card cage has RJ11 back-plane connectors for phone line interface).
2.1.2Serial Cable
You must provide a serial cable to connect each corresponding MT2834 to your computer. The cable must have a DB-25 male interface into the modem rack.
2.1.3Telephone Line
The MT2834 uses one RJ11 jack per corresponding modem slot to connect to the telephone lines. To connect the modem to the phone lines, plug one end of the RJ11 cable that is provided with the modem into the DB9 (9-pin connector) located on the back plane of the modem rack and the other end into the phone-company-provided RJ11 or RJ11W modular phone jack (CC916, CC1416 or CC2816 racks). To connect the modem to the phone lines using the CC1600 modem rack, plug one end of the RJ11 cable provided with the modem into the rack's RJ11 connector (located on the back plane of the modem rack) and the other end into the phone- company-provided RJ11 or RJ11W modular phone jack.
