Configuring Remote Access for AN and Passport ARN Routers

3-4 308614-14.20 Rev 00

Tabl e 3-3 lists the optional expansion modules available for an ARN. An

expansion module is a parallel daughterboard installed on the base module. The

ARN base module supports only one expansion module.

Tabl e 3-4 lists the optional adapter modules for an ARN. An adapter module is a

serial daughterboard installed in the front-panel card cage. The ARN base module

supports one or two adapter modules.

* The ARN supports network booting over DSU/CSU interfaces only for the default

configuration, 56 Kb/s DDS lines. You cannot netboot over a 64 Kb/s DSU/CSU

interface.
