Connecting to the Network
This section describes how to connect the Tasman system to various network interfaces. Follow the
procedure for the interface appropriate for your network facility environment.
ESD:
Before connecting cables or performing maintenance on a Tasman system, always wear an
ESD-preventative wrist strap. Connect the banana plug to the ESD ground connector on the system
chassis. Make sure that the wrist strap makes contact with your skin.
LAN Interface
The front panels on Tasman systems accommodate two LAN connections. Use a Category 5 STP
Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors to connect to the LAN.
To connect to the LAN:
1
Insert the RJ-45 connector on one end of the cable in either the Ethernet 0 or the Ethernet 1 port
on the front panel.
2
Connect the RJ-45 connector on the other end of the cable to the designated LAN.
Make sure that the cable connectors are locked and secure in the ports. See Table 47 on page 98
for more information about this cable.
Figure 25 Connecting the LAN Cable
T1 WAN Interface
The front panels on Tasman systems, models 6200 and below, accommodate multiple T1
connections. Use 26 AWG (minimum) Category 5 STP cable with RJ-48C connectors to connect to
this interface.
NOTE:
To maintain agency approval, use only a properly constructed, shielded cable.
To connect to a T1 interface:
1
Insert the RJ-48C connectors on one end of the cables in the ports on the service provider’s
terminal block.
2
Insert the RJ-48C connectors on the other ends of the cables in the T1 ports on the front panel of
the Tasman system.
Make sure that the cable connectors are locked and secure in the ports. See Table 48 on page 98
for more information about this cable.
