WAN ports

5.1Introduction

This chapter provides configuration and troubleshooting information for the Wide-Area Network (WAN) ports. There are four WAN ports available on the IMACS-200.

The WAN ports manage the flow of data through the IMACS-200 network. They terminate T1or E1 lines and generate or receive network timing clocks. They also cross-connect DS0 time slots, to pass data through the system from one T1or E1 line to another.

5.2WAN port Descriptions

The WAN ports are used for connection to a 1.544 Mbps T1 network, or to a 2.048 Mbps E1 network. There are four ports available on the IMACS-200, ports numbered wan-1, wan-2, wan-3 and wan-4. Connection to the WAN ports are made through the rear panel of the IMACS-200, labeled T1/E1 and numbered 1 through 4. The access to these ports is via four separate RJ45 connectors. Refer to Section Table 2-6. on page 10 of the System Installation chapter for pinouts of the WAN connections.
