Connecting Core modules to a LAN
Connect each Core/Net module to a local area network (LAN). This connection provides a communication channel for LAN based systems management tools such as OTM, Symposium, CallPilot and Element Manager. This connection also supplies additional redundancy capabilities. See Figure 85 on page 206.
Note 1: If a LAN is not available, connect the second NTRC17BA crossover Ethernet cable (included in the basic package) between the J31 ports in Core/Net 0 and Core/Net 1.
Note 2: The Core/Net I/O panel cables must be installed as described on “Cabling the I/O panel” on page 195 before the Ethernet connections can be completed.
