Chapter 3 Assembling And Connecting The Hn Router Hardware; Using The Pedestal Base - Hughes HN7700S Installation Manual

Assembling and connecting the HN

Using the pedestal base

This chapter explains how to assemble and make the connections
to the HN router. It covers the following topics:
• Using the pedestal base on page 9
• Selecting the router location on page 11
• Connecting the power supply on page 11
Note: Refer to the following appendices for assembly directions
for transport devices:
• Appendix E – ADTRAN Total Access 600R, on page 99
• Appendix F – Siemens 4100/4101 DSL Modem, on page 117
The router and the transport device must be fully assembled to
make all the hardware connections and continue with the
commissioning process.
Note: The HN router has two LAN ports (one for connecting to
customer devices and the other for connecting to the associated
modems), a serial port for connecting a serial device, and a phone
line connector to support VADB. To install the HN7700S for
VADB, see Chapter 8 – Configuring the HN router for VADB
backup.
The HN router can be oriented in two ways: in a vertical position
with the pedestal base or in a horizontal position without the
pedestal base when mounted in a ventilated rack.
The pedestal base ensures that the HN router receives proper
ventilation. Use it to mount the HN router in a vertical position.
