Enabling ISMP to RSA communication on a single machine
You must follow one of two methods to enable communication between the ISMP
and the RSA on a single machine:
v Using a single ISMP interconnect cable (with dual RJ-11 plugs):
v Using two ISMP interconnect cables (each with a single RJ-11 plug):

ISMP processors
1. Connect one end of the internal ISMP interconnect cable to the J-54
connector on the system board.
2. Connect the other end (the RJ-11 socket) of the internal ISMP interconnect
cable to the knockout slot on the back panel of the machine until it locks into
place.
3. Connect one connector on the ISMP interconnect cable to the RJ-11 socket
that you just installed on the back panel (in step 2).
4. Connect the other connector to the RJ-11 socket on the RSA.
1. Connect one end of the internal ISMP interconnect cable to the J-54
connector on the system board.
2. Connect the other end (with the RJ-11 socket) of the internal ISMP
interconnect cable to the knockout slot on the back panel of the machine until
it locks into place.
3. Connect the first ISMP interconnect cable to the RJ-11 socket that you just
installed on the back panel (in step 2).
4. Connect the second ISMP interconnect cable to the RJ-11 socket on the
RSA.
5. Connect the two ISMP interconnect cables with a single Category 5 Ethernet
cable (by plugging one end of the Ethernet cable into the "black box" on the
first ISMP interconnect cable, and the other end into the "black box" on the
second ISMP interconnect cable).
