Connecting Communications Cables

Gather the communications equipment and cables that you will attach to the

ARN/DC. If you do not have the proper cables, contact your network

administrator or see the Cable Guide.

Then, complete the steps in the applicable sections:

• “Connecting to an Ethernet Interface” on page 1-10

• “Connecting to a Serial Interface” on page 1-13

• “Connecting to the ISDN Interface” on page 1-15

• “Connecting to the 56/64K DSU/CSU Interface” on page 1-16

• “Connecting to an E1/FE1 Interface” on page 1-18

• “Connecting to the FT1/T1 DSU/CSU Interface” on page 1-17

• “Connecting to the Integrated V.34 Modem” on page 1-19

Connecting to an Ethernet Interface

You can connect an Ethernet cable to any ARN/DC base or expansion module that

contains an Ethernet interface option.

Some modules provides two Ethernet interface types: an IEEE 802.3 AUI

transceiver interface and an 10BASE-T or 10/100BASE-T unshielded twisted pair

(UTP) interface. You can connect to either the AUI transceiver interface or the

UTP interface on an Ethernet module, but you cannot use both interfaces at the

same time.

Note:

For ARN/DC cable interface descriptions, refer to Appendix C in this

manual.
