Connect Director With In-line Network Links

To connect Director to the network using an in-line installation, be sure that at least one of your DNMs is an in-line model. Tap port-pairs for each link are located side by side, with three links across the top row and three links across the bottom row. This is true for both Fiber and 10/100/1000 DNMs.

Figure 20: Port and link numbering for in-line DNM models

To connect an in-line network link:

1.Plug the appropriate cable into an odd-numbered Network port (Port m.o).

2.Plug the other end of the cable into the source switch or router. The Link LED for the port illuminates after a short delay to indicate that a link has been established.

3.Plug another cable into the connector immediately to the right of Port m.o. It will be numbered 1 higher, or Port m.(o+1).

4.Plug the other end of the cable into the destination switch or router. The Link LED for the port illuminates after a short delay to indicate that a link has been established. If present, traffic passes between the source and destination switches or routers and the two Link LEDs blink.

Repeat for all desired in-line network connections.
