Lan Interfaces; Operator Interfaces - Cabletron Systems Netlink FRX4000 Maintenance Manual

LAN Interfaces

The Ethernet model of FRX4000 contains an Ethernet interface, pro-
vided in RJ-45 (for twisted pair) and 15-pin "D" (AUI, for Thicknet)
configurations. The Ethernet cable and, if AUI, the tranceiver, must
be provided by the customer.
The Token Ring model of FRX4000 contains a Token Ring
interface, provided in RJ-45 (for unshielded twisted pair) and 9-pin
"D" (for shielded twisted pair) configurations. A Token Ring cable,
Cabletron number FRX-TR-CAB, is available.

Operator Interfaces

The FRX4000 does not require any operator intervention for normal
operation. However, a keyboard and video device are necessary for
initial configuration, and can be helpful later for monitoring.
Each FRX4000 is shipped with cables that allow connection to an
ASCII terminal by any of three methods: direct connection to ter-
minal, connection to terminal via modems, or direct connection to
PC running terminal emulation software.
A keyboard and video device can also be connected via one of these
methods:
ASCII terminal/keyboard (or PC with terminal emulation
software) connected to an async PAD port in the local
FRX4000.
ASCII terminal/keyboard (or PC with terminal emulation
software) connected to an async PAD port in a remote
Cabletron frame relay device (FRX4000, FRX6000, Smart-
Switch 1800, 9W004), through a network, into an X.25 port in
the local node.
