Z-Edge 64 Configuration Guide
establish a connection at each line rate and then move to the next higher rate
until they reach the final rate, which is the lower of the line rates. Note that the
Z-Edge 64 does not currently support SDSL autobaud.
Physical interfaces
The Z-Edge 64 has following physical interfaces:
•
WAN: One RJ11 port.
A standard RJ11 port connects unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper wire
to DSL networks.
•
LAN: One 10/100BaseT RJ45 port.
A RJ45 port carries both management and data traffic, and interconnects
with most Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) hubs and
networks.
•
Phone lines:
Z-Edge 64 BH2A: Four ISO 8877 ports support ISDN BRI.
or
Z-Edge 64 H2A: Four RJ11 ports support POTS.
•
Serial: One DB9 port.
A single DB9 asynchronous serial port provides direct PC or virtual
terminal (such as VT100) access to the Z-Edge 64. The serial port allows
access to the CLI.
