INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

ADDENDUM

The Comnet FDX55 Series has recently undergone some 

enhancements

.

The three 

enhancements

are summarized here.

Please verify which version 

of the FDX55 you have by examining the front and rear panels for the following 
changes. These changes are reflected in this Installation and Operation 
manual and will allow you to correctly configure the device for proper operation.

1) 

The silk screened printing on the front of each FDX55 Series device had 

previously shown a 

“JABBER RESET”

button. The silk screened printing was changed 

and now reads

“ANTI-STREAMING RESET”

for this button.

2) 

Linking port J3 originally used an 

RJ-45

receptacle.

This now has been changed to an 

RJ-11

receptacle.

3) 

The FDX55 was originally designed as a DCE device with a switch labeled

“NA/DCE”

to allow for possible future use as a true “DCE/DTE” switch.

The device has now changed to 

allow for the selection of DCE or DTE via the front panel switch labeled DTE/DCE.
The setting of this switch is detailed later in this manual.
