3.7.5 Connecting the Interface Cable

Caution:
Do not plug or unplug interface cables into or from the MIM card to prevent the device or ports from
being impaired.
Before connecting an MIM card, identify the type of the equipment to be connected (that is, the
synchronous/asynchronous mode, DTE/DCE mode, and so on), signaling criterion required by the
access equipment, baud rate, and line clock.
Step 1: Identify type of the interface to be connected and then choose the correct
synchronous/asynchronous serial interface cable.
