Connecting the Core module 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 93 on page 224.
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 “Installing the CP PIV to I/O panel cables” on page 220 before the Ethernet connections can be completed.
