Hardware installation
The maximum distance between the HLC and the terminal server is
approximately 15 meters (50 feet). This allows approximately 0.5 meter (2 feet)
for the HLC Multi-I/O cable and up to approximately 14.5 meters (48 feet) for
the MMI extension cable.
Modem
To connect an HLC to a modem to provide a man-machine interface (MMI)
terminal to the system, attach the male 25-pin connector of the
Meridian HomeOffice II Line Card Multi-I\O cable, Plug 2, to the female 25-pin
connector on the back of the modem.
To complete this connection, you need a customer-supplied cable having the
same pin-out as the MMI extension cable (see page 47), a female 25-pin
connector on one end, and the proper interface for connecting to the modem on
the other end.
The maximum distance between the HLC and the modem is approximately 15
meters (50 feet). This allows approximately 0.5 meter (2 feet) for the HLC
Multi-I/O cable and up to approximately 14.5 meters (48 feet) for the MMI
extension cable.
