Page 5: Important Safety Instructions
Installation of the Pipeline in a rack without sufficient air flow can be unsafe. If installed in a rack, the rack should safely support the combined weight of all equipment it supports. - Page 6 Earth/Chassis Ground connectors. This is a safety feature. Equipment grounding is vital to ensure safe operation. 11 Before installing wires to the Pipeline’s DC power terminal block, verify that these wires are not connected to any power source. Installing live wires (that is, wires connected to a power source) is hazardous.

Page 30: Identifying The Different Units
The Pipeline 50 and 75 units now have the same back panel. The POTS ports may be enabled on a Pipeline 50 by converting the unit to a Pipeline 75. This is done by obtaining a hash code from the Technical Assistance Center and performing a software upgrade. -
Page 31: Pipeline 85
Pipeline 85 The Pipeline 85 functions identically to the Pipeline 75. All features of the Pipe- line 75 apply to the Pipeline 85. Using the Pipeline 85 hub does not require set- ting any software parameters in the Pipeline configuration. - Page 32 The main difference is the cabling of the Ethernet hub. Be sure you use a straight-through cable to connect to the hub. If you need to connect the Pipeline to another hub, refer to the documentation of the other hub for cabling information required to connect hub-to-hub.
