Cabling the Site
• Cables of appropriate length and type are available for connection of serial
devices.
• One terminal (asynchronous TIA/EIA-423 or EIA/TIA-232-D compatible) is
available for hardware testing and system verification.

Installing the Ethernet Cables and Devices

You can connect the Access Server 316 to:
• Standard Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 network
• lOBaseT Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 network
• ThinWire Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 network using an external media access unit
(MAU)
Installing Serial Cables and Devices on the Access
Server 316
The Access Server 316 can be configured by the software to support one of the two
sets of signals. One set consists of:
• Clear to send (CTS)—This is the default setting.
• Request to send (RTS)—This is the default setting.
• Data set ready (DSR)—This is the default setting.
• Data terminal ready (DTR)—This is the default setting.
The second set consists of:
• Ring indicator (RI)
• Data signal rate selector (DSRS)
• Data carrier detect (DCD)
• Data terminal ready (DTR)
Before installing cables to the Access Server 316, you must find out which modem
signals are supported from the person managing the Access Server 316. This
information is necessary to determine which cables to use. For more information
on the signals, refer to the Network Access Software Management guide.
Use the cables listed and described in the following table to connect to the 8-pin
modular jacks on the serial communication lines of the Access Server 316.
