Connecting to the Fiber Interface

To connect a fiber cable to the base module or expansion module Ethernet interface, insert the fiber cable jack into the interface as shown in Figure 1-8.

Connecting to a Token Ring Interface

You can connect a token ring cable to any ARN base module or expansion module that contains a token ring interface option. Each of these interface options offers two token ring interface types: an STP interface or a UTP interface.

Note: You can use only one token ring interface on an ARN base or expansion module at any time. For example, you can connect to either the STP interface or the UTP interface on a base module, but you cannot use both interfaces at the same time.
