4.0 INSTALLATION

The Model 2720 is equipped with DTE, network, and power inter- faces. This section briefly describes connection to each.

The 10Base-T Interface is configured as DTE (Data Terminal Equipment). If the Model 2720/I is to to connect to another DTE device such as a 10Base-T network interface card, construct a 10Base-T crossover cable and connect the wires as shown in the dia- gram below (Figure 4).

4.2 Connecting the 10Base-T Ethernet Port to a Hub

The 10Base-T interface is configured as DTE (Data Terminal Equipment), just like a 10Base-T network interface card in a PC. Therefore, it “expects” to connect to a 10Base-T Hub using a straight- through RJ-45 cable. Use the diagram below (Figure 9) to construct a cable to connect the 10 BaseT interface to a 10Base-T Hub.

4.3 T1/FT1 INTERFACE CONNECTION

The Network Line Interface Line is an eight position keyed modu- lar jack configured as a RJ-48C. This interface will need to be config- ured to match the line parameters (i.e. framing, line coding, etc.) sup- plied by the central office.

NOTE:

If the Model 2720 is being used for private short range modem applications, the twisted pair cable connected to its port will need to be a crossover cable. See Appendix D for Interface pin assignments.
