Installing the IpChannel Bank 31

SmartNode 4900 User Manual 3 • Hardware installation

Connecting a 10/100Base-T Ethernet port to an Ethernet-capable workstation. The 10/100Base-T Ether-

net ports can connect to a single Ethernet-capable workstation or PC by means of any Ethernet cable.

Connecting the EIA-561 RS-232 configuration port (DCE configured)

Install the supplied RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable with the DB9-RJ45 adapter between the SN4900 IpChannel Bank

RS-232 console port (figure 10) and an open serial port on your computer. If you need to assemble your own

cable, refer to the pinout diagram in figure 10.

Figure 10. DB-9-to-RJ-45 cable diagram

Connecting the serial port

Serial devices (V.35 or X.21) are connected to the SmartNode’s serial ports (see table 8) via a cable terminated

at the SmartNode 4900. The V.35 connector is a DB-25 female and the X.21 uses a DB-15 female. The sync

serial ports are configured as DTE.
