CABLING THE SYSTEM
Your cabling tasks depend on the physical configuration of your system. This
chapter describes how to cable the Cuda 12000 and includes:
■ Cabling the Management Module
■ Cabling DOCSIS and EuroDOCSIS Modules
■ Cabling Octal 10/100 Ethernet SpectraFlow Modules
■ Cabling Gigabit Ethernet SpectraFlow and POS SpectraFlow Modules
■ Connecting Power
■ Cabling for System Fault Reporting
CAUTION: Before proceeding with the procedures in this chapter, read
Chapter 2, “Preparing for Installation.”
Cabling the Management Module
The Cuda 12000 Management module supports these forms of access:
Serial Access COM ports on the front of the management module
provide serial access to the system. Using an
ADC-provided serial cable, you can use COM 1 or COM 2
to access the system locally using a terminal emulation
program, such as HyperTerminal, or for remote modem
access. See “Cabling for Serial Access,” next for
instructions on how to cable the COM ports.
Network Access The 10/100 Ethernet Craft port located on the front of the
Management module provides both Telnet and Web access
to the system. See “Cabling for Network Access” on page 98
for instructions on how to cable the Craft port.
