Cabling for the Media Card 32-port trunk card 205

Procedure 14

Installing the serial cable

Step Action

To make a temporary connection to the IP Trunk 3.01 (and later)

maintenance port from a local RS-232 TTY terminal or a modem,

use the NTAG81CA PC Maintenance cable.

a. Connect the DIN-8 connector to the maintenance port on the

faceplate of the IP tr unk card.

b. Connect the DB9 connector to the COM port of a local PC

running TTY terminal emulation.

If required, use an NTAG81BA Maintenance Extender cable to

provide an extension between the NTAG81CA PC Maintenance

cable and the PC COM port. For remote dialup access from a

remote PC, use a null modem adaptor between the NTAG81CA

(or NTAG81BA) maintenance cable and the modem.

To make a more permanent connection to the maintenance port:

a. Connect the NTAG81BA Maintenance Extender cable to the

female DB9 connector of the NTCW84KA I/O cable for DCHIP

cards, or the NTMF94EA I/O cable for non-DCHIP cards.

b. Connect the other end of the NTAG81BA Maintenance Extender

cable to the PC COM port, or through a null modem cable to

a modem.

Only a single maintenance port connection can be made at a time.

Do not connect a terminal or modem to the faceplate maintenance

port and the NTCW84KA or the NTMF94EA.

Cabling for the Media Card 32-port trunk card

This section describes the cabling necessary to install the Media Card

32-port trunk card.

ELAN and TLAN network interfaces

The Media Card 32-port trunk card supports a single connector solution

for access to the TLAN and ELAN network interfaces. This ITG Card

ELAN/TLAN Adapter solution (L-adapter) replaces the ITG-Pentium

24-port product which requires a single ’octopus’ cable. The L-adapter can

also be used on the ITG-Pentium 24-port trunk card. Refer to Appendix

"Patches and advisements" (page 431) for more information on cabling

the ITG-Pentium 24-port trunk card.
