Communications Cabling Considerations
Consider the following information when deciding where to route cables for the system:
 Existing LAN and WAN communications connections must be within cabling
distance to the system.
 A telephone and telephone line must be provided for voice communications when
calling for support. The telephone should be placed such that it can be used by a
person who has access to the PC console, the front of the system, and to the back
of the system.
 If you are using the AA-E96600 RSN dialup console server, a telephone jack with
a connection to an additional external analog telephone line (not switched through
a PBX) must be near the installation site for connection to your system’s RSN
modem.
NOTE
A dedicated phone line provides the most reliable service.
RSN calls routed through a PBX might be slow due to load
on the PBX, or might not complete successfully due to
disconnections. If you must use a PBX, do not route the
telephone extension through a switchboard; instead,
provide a direct-dial analog number.
 Consider cabling needs for future expansion. For example, you may need to install
additional cabling in your building to support any additional devices that may be
required. By prewiring wall outlets for data communications, you can add terminals
as needed.
 Cables can exit from the top or bottom of the cabinet and can be routed along the
ceiling or under the floor.
