Tools Required

The customer-provided tools required for the hardware installation of the NetVanta are:

• Ethernet cables

• Network cables (module dependent)

• DSX-1 cable (T1/FT1 + DSX-1 module only)

• DBU cable (dial backup functions require an optional DIM)

• Phillips-head screwdriver (rack-mounted applications only)

To prevent electrical shock, do not install equipment in a wet location or during a

lightning storm.

Electronic modules can be damaged by static electrical discharge. Before handling

modules, put on an antistatic discharge wrist strap to prevent damage to electrical

components. Place modules in antistatic packing material when transporting or storing.

When working on modules, always place them on an approved antistatic mat that is

electrically grounded.

To access the command line interface (CLI) of the NetVanta, you will also need a VT100

terminal or PC with terminal emulation software and a console port cable. Instructions on

how to access the CLI are given in the Command Reference Guide (provided on the

ADTRAN OS System Documentation CD).
