The PathBuilder switch has two Ethernet interfaces, and a number of
Flex-WAN serial interfaces, Ultra-WAN CSU/DSU, T3/E3 WAN, and/or
ATM interfaces, depending on the model. This section describes how to
cable each interface on your switch.
Some network topologies require that a grounding stud, separate from
the AC ground, be provided on the chassis of the networking equipment.
If this is required, ground the PathBuilder S574 ATM tunnel switch by
attaching a permanently connected protective earthing conductor using a
minimum 18 gauge wire with a UL-listed ring lug to a reliably connected
earth ground (see Figure 11).
