Connecting to the Network
Warning When stranded wiring is required, use approved wiring terminations, such as
closed-loop or spade-type with upturned lugs. These terminations should be the appropriate
size for the wires and should clamp both the insulation and conductor. (To see translated
versions of this warning, refer to the appendix “Translated Safety Warnings.”)
Caution Do not overtorque the terminal block captive thumbscrew or terminal block
contact screws. The recommended torque is 8.2 0.4 inch-lb.
Warning After wiring the DC power supply, remove the tape from the circuit breaker
switch handle and reinstate power by moving the handle of the circuit breaker to the ON
position. (To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the appendix “Translated
Safety Warnings.”)
Connecting to the Network
This section explains how to connect the router to your network, using the Ethernet (AUI
or 10BaseT) or Token Ring (STP or UTP) ports or the WAN modules.
Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of
lightning activity. (To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the appendix
“Translated Safety Warnings.”)
Connecting to an Ethernet Network
If you have a Cisco 2524 router, it includes both an Ethernet AUI port and a 10BaseT port.
To connect your router to an Ethernet network, you can use either the Ethernet AUI or
10BaseT port, but not both. The first port connected will work. (If you attempt to use both
ports, only the 10BaseT port will work.)
