Connecting to the Network
This section explains how to connect the router to your network. The LAN
connection is made automatically when the router is installed in the host

with the router. However, cables can be ordered from HP. For ordering
information refer to the section “Ordering Information” in chapter 1 “HP
AdvanceStack Internet Router Overview” and appendix A “Cable Specifica-
tions”.
WARNING
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of
lightning activity.

1. Use a serial transition cable to connect the synchronous serial port
(DB-60) to a synchronous modem or CSU/DSU.
