Installing and Connecting the Hardware

Connecting the DSL Cards to the Ethernet Hubs or Switches

"Procedure

To connect the DSL cards to the Ethernet hubs or switches:

1.Plug the end of an 8-pin modular cable into the appropriate LAN/WAN SLOT port of the 8600 chassis. For example, if you want to connect to a DSL card in Slot 2, insert the 8-pin modular cable into the LAN/WAN Slot #2.

2.Run the 8-pin modular cable under the 8600 chassis and behind the left leg.

3.Plug the other end of the cable into your Ethernet hub or switch connector. Refer to Appendix B, Pinouts, for pin assignments.
