Chapter 2 - Installation
2.1 Preliminaries
This chapter covers MT2834 installation and connection. In addition to the
contents of the MT2834 package, you will need the equipment listed
below.
2.1.1 Card 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).
2.1.2 Serial 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.
2.1.3 Telephone 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.
