Hardware Connections

This chapter shows you how and where to make hardware connections.

Before you make your hardware connections, make sure that your IES-1000 is safely and securely positioned.

6.1Front Panel Connections

All connections are made on the front panel of the IES-1000. The following figure shows the front panel connections of the SAM1008. Connect A to a power source. B is an Ethernet switch. Connect C to the users. D is a local management computer. A more detailed discussion follows. Connections for the AAM1008 are the same except for the DSL ports (see 6.4 for details).

6.2Console Port

For the initial configuration, you need to use terminal emulator software on a computer and connect it to a network module through the console port. Connect the mini-RJ-11 end of the console cable to the console port of the network module. Connect the other end to a serial port of your computer. After the initial setup, you can modify the configuration remotely through Telnet connections.
