One Local ACCULINK Multiplexer

For users with small networks, a single local 74x multiplexer may be sufficient. The event and command ports are directly connected to the two NAPs. Multiplexer menu access is not essential; nearly all of the functionality built into the multiplexer menu system is available through 6800 Series NMS commands. If users need to access the internal menu system of the multiplexer, they can connect a terminal to a 74x NAP. Figure 4-19 shows the connections for one local ACCULINK multiplexer.

Connection Procedures

This section explains how to make the various connections required to implement the four configurations described above.

Connecting the 74x Multiplexer to the Host Processor

To connect a 74x multiplexer to the host processor, you must connect to one NAP on the 74x. A NAP can be configured as either a Supervisory NAP or an Event Datagram NAP. The Supervisory NAP connects to the external systems port on the host processor and the Event Datagram NAP connects to the command and event ports.

The 6800 Series Network Management System Multiplexer Management and Configuration Guide (6800-A2-GB48) explains how to configure multiplexer ports as either a supervisory NAP or Event Datagram NAP. The following procedures explain how to connect each of these NAPs.
