ANH-8/DC Hardware Communications Options

Every ANH-8/DC includes

•9 Ethernet LAN repeater ports (1 AUI and 8 UTP)

•2 synchronous wide area network (WAN) ports

•1 local console service port

Note: The Ethernet repeater ports operate as a single interface. Software configuration parameters (for example, the port IP address) apply to all ports.

With optional upgrades installed, the ANH-8/DC also supports

•An ISDN basic rate interface (BRI) for direct (without terminal adapter) connection to the ISDN network

•A third synchronous (COM3) port

•Second Ethernet nonrepeating 10Base-T (UTP-2) port

•An Ethernet Data Collection Module (DCM) for gathering RMON statistics

Note: When using an N11 DCM, the ANH-8/DC requires Router Software Version 9.00 or later and Site Manager Software Version 3.00 or later.

Table C-2 summarizes the communications interfaces; the sections that follow describe each interface in more detail and provide cable and connector specifications. See Chapter 2 for information and illustrations about the front- and back-panel cable connections.
