Connecting the DTE

The ASM-60 DTE interface provides interface for input/output data, clock reference and control signals between the modem and the DTE. The ASM-60 DTE interface can be either HSSI interface module, terminating in SCSI 50 female connector (see Table 2-2), or one of the Ethernet interface modules, described in greater detail in Appendix A, Appendix B and Appendix C.

To connect the HSSI interface:

•Attach the HSSI cable, terminated by SCSI 50 male connector to the SCSI 50 socket on the rear panel of ASM-60.
