The Power Socket
V!CAS
The Power Socket
The V!CAS is capable of operating within 100 - 240 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz, max.
0.2 A. The V!CAS has a universal power supply that senses the incoming
voltage and adjusts accordingly. Depending on the country you pur-
chased your V!CAS in, you should be able to use the included power
cord.
Before supplying power to the V!CAS, please verify the power rating
identified on the marking label complies with your local power source
The Network Ports
The V!CAS has a 10base2 (BNC) and 10baseT (TP) port for connecting to
the LAN and an ISDN S
0
port (marked ISDN-S/T) for connecting to your
ISDN subscriber outlet.
Telephony Ports
The V!CAS also has two telephony ports (POTS
1
ports, marked A/B on
the back plane) for the connection of analogue devices (e.g. telephones,
fax machines, etc.).

Plain old telephone service
Serial Port
The V!CAS has a 9 pin serial port on the back plane for connecting a con-
sole and supports baud rates between 1200 and 115,200 baud. To allow for
compatibility with a wider variety of terminals, the pin assignments for
the serial port have been modified. See Appendix A for individual pin as-
signments for the serial port. Chapter 2, Installing the V!CAS, explains
connecting a terminal.
The Main Board
Your V!CAS main board contains built-in LAN and ISDN interfaces.
These interfaces are accessible via the ports on the back plane which are
labelled as shown in figure 3.
