Connecting Cables
•
DTE ports require external clocking provided by a DCE device such as a CSU/DSU.
Note
Cable
The type of cable you connect to the serial port automatically sets the port for DTE or DCE operation
and establishes the signaling standard.
Procedure
Use the procedure in this section to connect external equipment to the Cisco 2430 series IAD.
Connect the appropriate serial interface cable between the WAN serial port and the serial port connector
Step 1
(see
Figure 3-26
Serial transition cable
Connect the external equipment (CSU/DSU or other serial device).
Step 2
Connecting a T1/E1-WAN Port to the Network Demarcation Device
To connect the T1/E1 port to a network demarcation device, use the procedure in this section.
To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network
Warning
voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some
LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. Statement 1021
