AN/DC Network Interfaces

 

 

 

 

 

Network

 

 

 

Interface

 

Description

 

 

 

 

 

Ethernet and

 

Supports the Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 standards that provide LAN

 

Second Ethernet

 

connectivity.

 

 

 

The Ethernet interfaces on an AN/DC include a 10Base-T (UTP) and

 

 

 

an 802.3 AUI (XCVR) port; however, you can use only one port at a

 

 

 

time.

 

 

 

The UTP interface provides unshielded twisted-pair support; the

 

 

 

XCVR interface provides broadband, baseband, fiber, and shielded

 

 

 

twisted-pair support, depending on the transceiver and cabling you

 

 

 

use.

 

 

 

 

 

Synchronous

 

Provides WAN connectivity. AN/DC models can have either two

 

 

 

(COM1 and COM2) or three (COM1, COM2, and COM3)

 

 

 

synchronous ports. (The third synchronous interface option is

 

 

 

available on any AN/DC model that this guide describes.)

 

 

 

Each port can operate independently with RS-232, RS-422, RS-449,

 

 

 

V.28, V.35, and X.21 cables. Synchronous capability allows internal or

 

 

 

external clocking.

 

 

 

 

 

ISDN BRI

 

Supports an S/T interface (an RJ-45 physical connector). The BRI

 

 

 

provides 2 B channels, and supports full D-channel signaling and call

 

 

 

setup/tear-down as defined in 1988 CCITT (now ITU-T) Q.921 and

 

 

 

Q.931. For more information on ISDN, refer to Configuring Dial

 

 

 

Services.

 

 

 

Note that in the United States, an external NT-1 device is required to

 

 

 

provide the U interface to the carrier network.

 

 

 

The ISDN BRI option is available on any AN/DC model. Note that

 

 

 

only one synchronous port, COM2, operates in AN/DC models that

 

 

 

include ISDN BRI support.

 

 

 

 

 

Data Collection

 

Gathers RMON statistics. Refer to Connecting BayStack AN and

 

Module (DCM)

 

ANH Systems to a Network for information.
