RS-232/V.35 Connector
The RS-232/V.35 connector is used to connect the RouteFinder to a WAN device (used primarily for
Dial back-up). The WAN device connection is to an asynchronous or synchronous communications
device such as a modem, DSU, or ISDN terminal adapter. This connection can be either RS-232C or
V.35. If the connection is V.35, then the shunt must be moved from the default RS-232 position to the
V.35 position. This connector is a DB25 male connector.
Command Port Connector
The Command Port connector is used to configure the RouteFinder using a PC with a serial port and
running Windows
® software. The Command Port connector is an RJ-45 jack and a short adapter cable
is provided to convert to a standard serial port DB9 female connector.
Monitor Jacks
The Monitor jacks (for Bantham plugs) are used by Telco personnel to connect T1 test equipment.
This would become necessary in case of bad lines or other transmission problems. The upper jack
(Receive) monitors receive data on the T1 line; and, the lower jack (Transmit) monitors transmit data
on the T1 line.
T1 DSU Connector
The RJ-48 T1 DSU jack is used to connect a point-to-point T1 line from your local Telco.
10Base-T Connector
The 10Base-T connector is used to connect the RouteFinder to a LAN using unshielded twisted cable.
This connector is an RJ-45 jack.
Power Connector
The Power connector is used to connect the external power supply to the RouteFinder. The Power
connector is a 6-pin circular DIN connector. A separate power cord is connected to the power supply
and the live AC grounded outlet.
ON/OFF Switch
The power switch provides DC power to the RouterFinder when placed in the ON position and removes
power when placed in the OFF position.
