Cable the Ethernet Connector
The OfficeConnect bridge/router accepts either a 10BASE-2
coaxial or 10BASE-T twisted pair (TP) Ethernet cable
connection.
Attach a coaxial Ethernet cable to the BNC connector using
a T-connector, or plug the 8-foot twisted pair cable
supplied with the OfficeConnect bridge/router into the slot
labeled TP.
Only one Ethernet connection is allowed.
Cable the Serial Port
Attach the special 3Com Flex-WAN cable to the port
labeled Serial.
Attach the Flex-WAN end of the cable to the OfficeConnect
bridge/router port. The other end of the cable has the
appropriate connector (V.35, X.21, or RS-232) for a serial
modem or CSU/DSU device.
You should have ordered the Flex-WAN cable when you
ordered your OfficeConnect bridge/router. You can order a
Flex-WAN cable from your local 3Com sales representative.
Plug the CSU/DSU or modem cable into the connector on
the Flex-WAN cable. Connect the CSU/DSU or modem to
the leased line provided by your telco vendor.
