Attaching
a Compact Serial Cable
To continue your Cisco PA-8T-232 port adapter installation, you must attach a compact serial cable to
the port adapter. The instructions that follow apply to all supported platforms. This chapter contains the
following sections:
•
Connecting a Compact Serial Cable, page 4-1
• Determining the Port Mode, page 4-3
Connecting a Compact Serial Cable
On a single PA-8T-232, you can use only one EIA/TIA-232 compact serial cable, which is available only
from Cisco Systems; it is not available from outside commercial cable vendors.
Caution Attach only an EIA/TIA-232 compact serial cable to the PA-8T-232 installed in your router. Attaching
a compact serial cable of another interface type to the port adapter could damage your router or the
hardware at the network end of the cable.
To connect a compact serial cable to a PA-8T-232, follow these steps:
Step 1
Attach the compact serial cable plug directly to the receptacle on the PA-8T-232, and tighten the
strain-relief screws. (See
Figure 4-1 on page 4-2 .)
Note
Port adapters have a handle attached, but this handle is not shown to allow a full view of detail
on each port adapter’s faceplate.
When attaching the cable receptacle on the PA-8T-232, use the cable-management bracket that
shipped with your router for extra strain relief.
