Connecting Serial HWICs to the Network
After you install the serial HWIC, use the appropriate serial cable to connect the HWIC ports to the
following types of equipment:
• Asynchronous modems, if connecting to analog telephone lines
• Synchronous modems, data service units/channel service units (DSUs/CSUs), or other DCEs, if
connecting to digital WAN lines
To connect the serial HWIC to the network, follow these steps:
Step 1 Confirm that the router is turned off.
Step 2 Connect one end of the appropriate serial cable to the connector on the card faceplate.
Step 3 Connect the other end (or ends) of the cable to the appropriate type of equipment.
Step 4 Turn on power to the router.
Step 5 Check that the CONN LED goes on, which indicates that the card’s serial port detects a WAN serial
connection.
