Connecting the DTE Cables
The FrameSaver SLV 9580 DSU can be connected to two DTEs. Each may have
either a HSSI or a V.35 interface. The FrameSaver SLV 9580 DSU automatically
detects the presence of a V.35 adapter. If Port Type is set to HSSI and a V.35
adapter is installed, or if Port Type is V.35 and a V.35 adapter is not installed, an
error message is displayed on the Health and Status screen and the Port-
n
Physical Options configuration screen. The port is not usable when the Port Type
and cable do not match.
The DTE sockets require 50-position 0.5-inch straight exit connectors. Molded
connectors cannot be used. DTE cables are not supplied with the DSU.
NOTE:
If you wish to isolate the router from network activity until proper network
operation has been verified, do not connect the router to the DSU until the
network has been configured and network connectivity has been verified.
Procedure
To install a V.35 or HSSI DTE cable:
1. Press the 50-pin connector of the HSSI cable or the V.35 adapter onto the
DTE P1 or DTE P2 socket on the back of the DSU until the latches lock.
2. For a HSSI cable, proceed with Step 3. Connect the V.35 cable to the V.35
adapter, providing appropriate strain relief.
3. Fix the cable to the rail with a cable tie or other strain relief device.
4. Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate port of your DTE.

Do not substitute a SCSI-2 cable for a HSSI cable. Although apparently
similar, a SCSI-2 cable may not accommodate high speeds without errors.
