Cabling
LAN Adapter Cable
Connect one end of the LAN cable to the RJ45 connector on the FRM LAN
card (see Figure 2), and the other end to the LAN interface module. Be sure to
route the cable so as not to obstruct the ability of an installer to remove other
modules at some future date.
RLP Cables
1. Plug one end of each RLP cable (91-460-201) into an RLP connector on
the FRM. Connect the other end of the RLP cable into a 60 Pin I/O box
connector, as shown in Figure 3. (The ports are labeled on the I/O boxes.)
Tighten the retaining screws.
2. Each RLP connector is labeled to identify its physical interface: RS-232,
V.35 and/or RS-422. Interface cables, listed in Table 1 connected to the I/
O box must be appropriate to the labeled interface of the RLP connector
to which the I/O box is connected. (RS-422 interfaces include RS-449 and
X.21.)
Plug the interface cables into the I/O boxes, and tighten the retaining
screws. Secure the cables to the cabinet frame in such a way as to provide
a strain relief for the connectors at the I/O box end.

Checking for Proper Operation

1. Switch on the async terminal (if necessary).
2. Observe the SMB and CPU LEDs (shown in the following figure) on the
Frame Relay Module. Both should be green.
3. As the FRM boots (starts), a series of messages track the loading of the
software. These messages are written to a file named BOOTRPT.TXT. If
there appears to be a problem during boot-up, the contents of this file can
be displayed (as described later), to help determine the problem.
When the boot process is complete, a screen similar to Figure 5 will be dis-
played. (No status will be shown until the software is configured.)

This procedure requires an asynchronous terminal and keyboard
connected (locally or remotely) to the COM1 port on the FRM.
