CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK
This section provides the procedures for connecting fiber optic or
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) segments from the network or other
devices to the modules.
Ports 1 through 24 on the DLE28-MA have ST connectors for multimode
fiber optic connections. Ports 25 and 26 of the DLE28-MA support
DELTX-UI, DELFX-UI, or DELF3-UI Fast Ethernet Interface Modules.
The DELTX-UI has an RJ45 connector for a Category 5 UTP cable
connection. The DELFX-UI has an SC style connector for a multimode
fiber optic cable connection. The DELF3-UI has an SC style connector
for a single mode fiber optic cable connection.
Refer to Section 3.6.1 to make fiber optic connections to ports 1 through
24 of the modules.
Refer to Section 3.6.2 to make a twisted pair connection to a DELTX-UI.
Refer to Section 3.6.3 to make a fiber optic connection to a DELFX-UI or
DELF3-UI.
If the DLE28-MA is being installed in a network using
SmartTrunking, there are rules concerning the network cable
and port configurations that must be followed for SmartTrunking
to operate properly. Before connecting the cables refer to
Section 5.20, for the configuration information.
