Connecting the 10/100Base-T Ethernet port to an Ethernet-capable workstation

The 10/100Base-T Ethernet port can connect to a single Ethernet-capable workstation by means of a cross-

over cable. Refer to figure 10 to assemble a cross-connect cable that will connect between the NIC Ethernet

port in the workstation and the RAS 10/100Base-T Ethernet port.

Install the supplied DB-9-to-RJ-45 cable between the RAS RS-232 port (see figure 8 on page 23) and an open

Connecting to the T1/E1/PRI WAN ports

An active T1/E1/PRI is not necessary to configure the RAS. However, an active T 1/E1/PRI conn ection is requ ired

to receive or make calls. The factory-set default configuration of the access server has the T1/E1 ports disabled.

Note

The cable connecting the T1/E1/PRI WAN ports to the RJ-48C ter-

mination jack should be CAT-3 or higher and extend no farther than

1 mile (1.6 km) from the digital services termination.
