Canada Requirements Only (continued)  
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or  
alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications  
company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.  
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines  
and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly  
important in rural areas.  
Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric  
inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.  
Notice: For equipment using loopstart lines, please note that the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each  
terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone  
interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement  
that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5. The REN is located on the “FCC  
Rules Part 68” label located on the bracket of the module, or on the back of the unit.  
Canada CS-03 -- Règles et règlements  
Avis: L'étiquette d'Industrie Canada identifie le matériel homologué. Cette étiquette certifie que le matériel est  
conforme aux normes de protection, d'exploitation et de sécurité des réseaux de télécommunications, comme le  
prescrivent les documents concernant les exigences techniques relatives au matériel terminal. Le Ministère n'assure  
toutefois pas que le matériel fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l'utilisateur.  
Avant d'installer ce matériel, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer qu'il est permis de le raccorder aux installations de l'entreprise  
locale de télécommunication. Le matériel doit également être installé en suivant une méthode acceptée de  
raccordement. L'abonné ne doit pas oublier qu'il est possible que la conformité aux conditions énoncées ci-dessus  
n'empêche pas la dégradation du service dans certaines situations.  
Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent être coordonnées par un représentant désigné par le fournisseur.  
L'entreprise de télécommunications peut demander à l'utilisateur de débrancher un appareil à la suite de réparations ou  
de modifications effectuées par l'utilisateur ou à cause de mauvais fonctionnement.  
Pour sa propre protection, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer que tous les fils de mise à la terre de la source d'énergie électrique,  
des lignes téléphoniques et des canalisations d'eau métalliques, s'il y en a, sont raccordés ensemble. Cette précaution  
est particulièrement importante dans les régions rurales.  
Avertissement: L'utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces raccordements lui-même; il doit avoir recours à un service  
d'inspection des installations électriques, ou à un électricien, selon le cas.  
Avis: Veuillez prendre note que pour tout appareillage supportant des lignes de type “loopstart,” l'indice d'équivalence  
de la sonnerie (IES) assigné à chaque dispositif terminal indique le nombre maximal de terminaux qui peuvent être  
raccordés à une interface. La terminaison d'une interface téléphonique peut consister en une combinaison de quelques  
dispositifs, à la seule condition que la somme d'indices d'équivalence de la sonnerie de tous les dispositifs n'excède pas  
5. Le REN figure sur l’étiquette “FCC Rules Part 68” située sur le support du module ou à l’arrière de l’unité.

Connecting Repeater UTP Cables  
Using the MDI/MDI-X Switch  
The ANH-8/DC front panel includes an external MDI/MDI-X switch (Figure 2-9)  
that allows you to change transmit and receive signals for 10Base-T repeater Port  
1 from normal repeater input mode (media-dependent interface with crossover, or  
MDI-X) to repeater cascade out (media-dependent interface, or MDI)  
configuration. In MDI-X mode, transmit and receive signal connections are  
reversed; in MDI mode, the port transmits and receives straight-through signals  
With a standard (straight-through) UTP cable in Port 1, press the switch in for  
MDI operation.  
With a crossover cable in Port 1, keep the switch out for MDI-X operation.

Connecting the ANH-8/DC to Other Repeaters/Hubs  
You can use Port 1 in MDI configuration to connect to a 10Base-T MDI-X port on  
another router/hub/bridge device using UTP straight-through RJ-45 patch cables  
(instead of a special crossover cable). You can interconnect (daisychain) as many  
as four 8-Port ANH-8/DC or other hub systems.  
To determine whether you need to use a crossover cable or straight-through cable  
to interconnect hub units, consider the following:  
If the Ethernet UTP ports on both hubs are in MDI mode, use a crossover  
cable.  
If the UTP ports on both hubs are in MDI-X mode, use a crossover cable.  
If the UTP port on one hub is in MDI mode, and the UTP port on the other  
hub is in MDI-X mode, use a straight-through cable.

Installing the ANH-8/DC  
When you configure a network with multiple ANH-8/DC (or other repeater/hub)  
systems, you must comply with the following rules:  
Connect no more than four hubs.  
Make sure that each UTP connection is not longer than 100 meters  
(109.4 yards).  
If a transceiver is connected to the AUI port, disable the SQE (signal quality  
error) test function of the transceiver.

Installing and Operating AN/DC and ANH-8/DC Systems  
Connecting to the DC Power Source  
Danger: Due to high-energy hazards, only qualified service personnel are  
permitted to connect the ANH-8/DC to the power source. Ensure that the  
connection is to an isolated -48 V or -60 V source (reinforced insulation from  
the main [AC] power).  
To connect the ANH-8/DC to the power source:  
1. Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF (0) position (Figure 2-19).  
2. Using a flathead screwdriver, loosen, but do not remove, the screws on the  
terminal blocks marked -VDC and RTN (Figure 2-19).

9. Connect an earth ground wire to either the leftmost terminal block, or to  
the grounding stud located between the power switch and the power  
module connector (Figure 2-21).  
We recommend using the same wire gauge (or greater) for the earth ground as  
that used for connection to the power source. That is, if connection to the  
power source uses #16 AWG cable, use #16 AWG cable for the ground. If  
connection to the power source uses #18 AWG cable, use #18 or #16 AWG  
cable for the ground.  
Use a #6 ring terminal when the connecting to the grounding stud.

Chapter 3  
Starting the AN/DC and ANH-8/DC  
The first time you start the AN/DC or ANH-8/DC, you complete an important  
software configuration process.  
Before you begin the initial startup from a remote site:  
1. Coordinate with your network administrator.  
The network administrator, using the manual Connecting BayStack AN and  
ANH Systems to a Network or Configuring Remote Access, determines which  
software configuration option is best for your site and configures the network  
2. Install the PCMCIA Flash card supplied with the router.  
See “Installing the Flash Memory Card” in this chapter.  
3. For information about the software configuration methods, read the “About  
4. To begin the startup process, follow the detailed instructions in one of these  
sections:  
Using EZ Install  
Using Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot  
About Software Installation  
To bridge and route traffic, the router needs a configuration file that is customized  
for the network and a software image made up of executable files -- an operating  
system kernel and application files. Nortel Networks ships these files on PCMCIA  
Flash media.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
Installing and Operating AN/DC and ANH-8/DC Systems  
You must complete an initial startup procedure to obtain the necessary files and  
connect the AN/DC or ANH-8/DC to the network. Getting a file over the network  
is called network booting, or netbooting. Getting a file from the router file system,  
stored in Flash memory, is called local booting.  
Note: This guide explains using Site Manager software to connect the router  
to a managed network. If you plan to use EZ Internetwork software to start the  
AN/DC or ANH-8/DC on the network, you use the Quick2Config software.  
Quick2Config is a Microsoft Windows-based application that allows you to  
quickly and easily create or modify configuration files for Nortel Networks  
Access routers. See Configuring Your Router Using the Quick2Config Tool for  
information.  
Boot Options  
You use one of four Site Manager boot options to complete software installation:  
EZ Install, Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot. Table 3-1 summarizes the  
four options; the sections that follow provide steps for completing each option.

Installing the Flash Memory Card  
A PCMCIA Flash memory card (Figure 3-1) provides storage capability for the  
nonvolatile file system (NVFS) in the AN/DC and ANH-8/DC. When you remove  
a formatted memory card, the NVFS automatically removes access to the card.  
When you insert and format a card or insert an already formatted card, the NVFS  
automatically provides access.

Installing and Operating AN/DC and ANH-8/DC Systems  
1. Position the card with the label facing up and the INSERT arrow  
pointing toward the card receptacle.  
2. Insert the card into the receptacle.  
Figure 3-2 shows how to insert the Flash memory card in an AN/DC that does  
not have a Flash memory card protector installed.  
Figure 3-3 shows how to insert the card in an ANH-8/DC.  
3. Gently push the card until it fits snugly into place.  
If the card is new, and you did not obtain it from Nortel Networks, you must  
format the card before attempting to write to it. You can format the card using Site  
Manager software or the format command available with the Nortel Networks  
Technician Interface. (Refer to Using Technician Interface Software for  
instructions.)  
Caution: If you attempt to boot without the Flash memory card inserted, the  
router will not operate.

Using EZ Install  
To use the EZ Install feature:  
1. Install the router and attached communications equipment as described  
in Chapter 1 (AN/DC) or Chapter 2 (ANH-8/DC).  
There must be at least one synchronous connection to one of the COM ports.  
Although you do not need a modem or console connection for EZ Install, we  
strongly recommend that you connect a modem or console. This lets you issue  
commands to the router and view messages.  
2. Contact your network administrator to verify that the remote network is  
set up so that you can start the EZ Install procedure.  
3. Be sure that the Flash memory card is installed, as described earlier in  
this chapter.  
4. Supply power as described in this chapter.  
As the router powers on, it begins diagnostic tests. Your console displays the  
message *****Testing Memory***** with the amount of memory available.  
Once it passes diagnostic tests, the router automatically activates and  
completes EZ Install. (It gets a software image from the local file system, its  
IP address from the upstream router, and a configuration file from the BootP  
server.) The router then starts bridging and routing traffic.  
When booting, the AN/DC and ANH-8/DC LEDs flash in a particular order.  
To interpret the LED sequence and troubleshoot any potential problems, refer  
to Chapter 4.

Installing and Operating AN/DC and ANH-8/DC Systems  
Using Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot  
You use a command interface to the router software, the Diagnostic Monitor, for  
Netbooting or Local Booting. (You can also use the Technician Interface or Site  
Manager for the Directed Netboot procedure.)  
The AN/DC and ANH-8/DC ship with the configuration source set to network and  
the image source set to local. Using the Diagnostic Monitor, you change the  
default configuration, bypassing the EZ Install process. The Diagnostic Monitor’s  
bconfig command enables you to specify the source for the configuration file and  
boot image.  
Logging In to the Diagnostic Monitor  
You begin the Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot process by logging in to  
the Diagnostic Monitor. Complete these steps:  
1. Install the router and attached communications equipment as described  
in Chapter 1 (AN/DC) or Chapter 2 (ANH-8/DC).  
2. Power on the local management console.  
3. Insert the Flash memory card as described earlier in this chapter.  
4. Press the power switch on the back panel to the On position.  
As the router powers on, your console displays the message *****Testing  
Memory***** with the amount of memory available.  
Next, diagnostic software (AN Diagnostics) begins to test the router. The  
console displays:  
The diagnostic software version  
Information about the hardware (model, revision, and serial numbers)  
The size of Flash memory and Dynamic Random Access Memory  
(DRAM)

Operating the AN/DC and ANH-8/DC  
When power is supplied to the router, the following LED sequence should occur:  
The POWER LED lights and remains on.  
RUN, BOOT, and DIAG (or FAULT for ANH) LEDs light for approximately  
1 second, then turn off, indicating that the router is functioning.  
The RUN LED blinks for 1 to 3 minutes, indicating that the diagnostic tests  
are running. (It blinks quickly during the initial 17-second memory test, then  
slows down during the interface tests.)  
The BOOT LED lights for 1 to 3 minutes, indicating that the diagnostic tests  
were successful and the router is booting.  
The RUN LED lights and the BOOT LED turns off, indicating that the router  
is operational.  
If the LEDs on the router light in this sequence, your installation is successful.  
Contact your network administrator to verify that the router is now connected to  
the network.  
If the LEDs do not light in this sequence, your network administrator can refer to  
Connecting BayStack AN and ANH Systems to a Network to help troubleshoot the  
problem. If you need additional assistance, contact your local Nortel Networks  
Technical Response Center.

Powering On and Off  
The DC power switch allows you to restart the router without having to disconnect  
the power supply wires. When the power switch is turned off, the outputs of the  
power supply shut off, but the front end is still active.  
Danger: Once the AN/DC is connected to the power source, the central office  
must shut off the circuit breaker to remove the wires to the power supply.  
To power on an AN/DC or ANH-8/DC:  
1. Press the power switch to the On position (1); that is, toggle the switch  
down.  
For the AN/DC, see Figure 4-4. For the ANH-8/DC, see Figure 4-5.  
Note: If the AN/DC or ANH-8/DC does not power on, check the polarity of  
the connections to the power source. If polarity has been reversed, the router  
will not power on. If polarity is correct and the AN/DC or ANH-8/DC does not  
power on, contact the Nortel Networks Technical Response Center.

Protecting Memory Card Files  
Nortel Networks ships each memory card with its read-write protect switch in the  
unprotected position (Figure 4-10). After successfully loading the configuration  
file and saving your configuration, you may want to write-protect the memory  
card for backup purposes.  
Note: You typically do not operate the router with a write-protected memory  
card. We recommend making a copy of your configuration on another memory  
card, write-protecting the card, and storing it in a safe place.  
To change memory card protection:  
1. Remove the memory card as described in the previous section.  
2. Adjust the read-write protect switch, which is located on the edge  
opposite the INSERT arrow of the memory card (Figure 4-10).

Appendix A  
Configuring Netboot and Directed Netboot  
You can use the following commands to configure the AN/DC or ANH-8/DC for  
Netboot and Directed Netboot:  
Use the ifconfig command to configure the router’s initial IP interface to the  
network. You need this information to complete the procedure in “Continuing  
with Netboot” in Chapter 3.  
Use the bconfig command to specify the location and name of the AN/ANH  
software image and configuration file. You need this information to complete  
the procedure in “Continuing with Directed Netboot” in Chapter 3.  
Contact your network administrator for additional assistance in determining the  
appropriate ifconfig command and bconfig command that you need for the AN/  
DC or ANH-8/DC at your site. (Your network administrator has information on  
these commands in Connecting BayStack AN and ANH Systems to a Network.)  
Using the ifconfig Command  
You use the ifconfig command to do the following:  
Configure the router’s initial IP interface to the network. (Note that the initial  
IP interface should be a synchronous interface if you are using EZ-Install.)  
You also use the same procedure to configure other synchronous interfaces for  
the Netbooting procedure.  
Configure Ethernet interfaces for the Netbooting procedure.  
Enable or disable Netbooting on an interface.  
The following sections describe each use of the ifconfig command.

Installing and Operating AN/DC and ANH-8/DC Systems  
Configuring a Synchronous IP Interface for Netbooting  
To Netboot, you must first configure the router’s initial IP interface to the network,  
using the following interface configuration command:  
ifconfig [synchronous options] <interface> <ip_addr> <subnet_mask>  
[<next_hop>]  
[synchronous options] indicates some combination of the following settings:  
[-d | -fr [ -annexd | -annexa | -lmi ] | -int_clk]  
Note: You must insert a space to separate each command option from the next.  
After the initial configuration, you can use the same command format to configure  
other synchronous interfaces for Netbooting.  
Table A-1 describes the ifconfig command arguments for configuring a  
synchronous interface.  
Table A-1.  
Setting  
The ifconfig Command Settings for a Synchronous Interface  
Description  
Default setting:  
-d  
Resets the AN/DC or ANH-8/DC IP interface settings to the default values. This  
setting tries four WAN configurations in the following order until it finds the correct type  
for the router’s connection to the network:  
1. Nortel Networks HDLC encapsulation (also referred to as Nortel Networks  
Standard Point-to-Point) with external clocking  
2. Frame Relay Annex D  
3. Frame Relay LMI  
4. Frame Relay Annex A  
Frame Relay settings:  
Configures the synchronous port as a Frame Relay connection. With this setting, use  
one of the following options to specify a DLCMI setting:  
-annexd, -annexa, or -lmi.  
-fr  
-annexd  
-annexa  
-lmi  
When one of these options is used with the -fr setting, it specifies a DLCMI setting.  
Use the same setting as the network to which the router’s Frame Relay interface is  
connected. The default setting for Frame Relay is -annexd.

Description  
IP address settings:  
<ip_addr>  
Specifies the IP address of the interface you set with <interface>. Provide this  
address in dotted decimal notation.  
<subnet_mask>  
Specifies the IP subnet mask of the interface you selected with the <interface>  
setting. Provide this address in dotted decimal notation.  
Enabling and Disabling Interfaces with ifconfig  
To enable or disable an interface for the Netboot process, use the following  
command formats:  
ifconfig -disable <interface>  
ifconfig -enable <interface>  
<interface> specifies the type of IP connector you are enabling or disabling. Use  
com1, com2, or com3 (for synchronous media), or xcvr1 or xcvr2 (for Ethernet  
media).  
Using the bconfig Command  
To use Directed Netboot, you must use the bconfig command to specify the  
following:  
The IP address of the server where the router’s software image and  
configuration file reside  
The full pathnames of the software image and configuration file  
You must use the bconfig command once to specify the location of the software  
image, and again to specify the location of the configuration file.  
Use one of the following formats for the bconfig command:  
bconfig [image | config] [local | network [<tftp_host> <tftp_pathname>]]  
bconfig -d [image | config]  
Table A-3 describes the bconfig command options.

local  
Specifies information about the software image.  
Specifies information about the configuration file.  
Indicates that the specified file (image or config) resides in the router’s local file  
system.  
network  
Indicates that the specified file resides on a network server.  
<tftp_host>  
Specifies the IP address of the host where the image or configuration file resides.  
If both the software image and configuration file reside on the network, the files must  
reside on the same host. In other words, you must specify the same IP address for  
the tftp_host for both files.  
<tftp_pathname>  
Specifies the complete pathname of the software image or configuration file on the  
host.  
Resets the default values for the software image or configuration file.  
-d  
The command bconfig -d image tells the router to look for the image file locally and  
nullifies the IP address and pathname for the file.  
The command bconfig -d config tells the router to obtain the configuration file over  
the network and nullifies the IP address and pathname for the file.  
Without the IP address and pathnames, the router uses Netboot rather than Directed  
Netboot. However, if you want to get one file locally while using Directed Netboot for  
the other file, you can use the bconfig command as the following examples show:  
bconfig image local  
bconfig config network 21.3.5.62 /usr/anstartup/config  
Or,  
bconfig image network 21.3.5.62 /usr/mykernel.exe  
bconfig config local

Appendix B  
Using Local Boot (the Quick-Start Procedure)  
You can local boot the AN/DC or ANH-8/DC using the Site Manager Quick-Start  
procedure explained in this appendix. You need this information to complete the  
procedure in “Continuing with Local Boot” on page 3-15 .  
The Quick-Start procedure is the initial configuration that starts a Nortel  
Networks router running on the network. The procedure enables the Internet  
Protocol (IP) so that the router can connect to Site Manager.  
Quick-starting basically consists of running the install.bat script and entering  
information at the prompts. The router automatically selects options for some  
prompts, and you can accept default values for many of the other prompts.  
To assist you in answering Quick-Start prompts, we have included a series of  
worksheets for you to fill out with your network administrator’s help. These  
worksheets contain all of the options that appear at each prompt, and space for  
you to record the options you select.  
The last two sections in this appendix, Using the Quick-Start Commands” and  
Running the Quick-Start Script,” provide additional information about the  
Quick-Start procedure.  
It is very important that you fill out the worksheets and read all sections of this  
appendix before you begin the Quick-Start procedure.  
Note: Contact your network administrator for assistance in selecting  
worksheet options.

Installing and Operating AN/DC and ANH-8/DC Systems  
Filling Out the Quick-Start Worksheets  
The install.bat script provides many options for configuring the router on a  
network.  
Note: Because typical remote access uses a synchronous interface over a  
WAN connection, this section lists only the options involved with a  
synchronous configuration. When you configure a LAN interface, base your  
decision on the information provided with each install.bat prompt.  
Use the following worksheets to organize your network information. Although  
this section has many worksheets, you only need to fill out  
One Global Information Worksheet. This worksheet lists options common to  
all synchronous interface configurations.  
One Router Protocol Worksheet. This worksheet lists specific options for RIP,  
OSPF, or Static Route configurations.  
One Wide Area Protocol Worksheet. This worksheet lists specific options for  
the Nortel Networks (proprietary) Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), Frame  
Relay, PPP Standard, and Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS)  
configurations.  
We suggest the following procedure when filling out worksheets:  
1. Fill out the Global Information Worksheet completely.  
(These options are the same for all synchronous interface configurations.)  
2. After recording your protocol selections on the Global Information  
Worksheet,” fill out only the worksheets for these protocols in the Router  
Protocol Worksheets” andWide Area Protocol Worksheets” sections.  
For example, if you select RIP as your routing protocol and Frame Relay as  
your wide area protocol, you need only fill out the worksheets pertaining to  
these specific protocols.  
3. Go on to the sections Using the Quick-Start Commands” and Running  
the Quick-Start Script.”

AN/DC Network Interfaces  
Description  
Network  
Interface  
Ethernet and  
Supports the Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 standards that provide LAN  
Second Ethernet connectivity.  
The Ethernet interfaces on an AN/DC include a 10Base-T (UTP) and  
an 802.3 AUI (XCVR) port; however, you can use only one port at a  
time.  
The UTP interface provides unshielded twisted-pair support; the  
XCVR interface provides broadband, baseband, fiber, and shielded  
twisted-pair support, depending on the transceiver and cabling you  
use.  
Synchronous  
Provides WAN connectivity. AN/DC models can have either two  
(COM1 and COM2) or three (COM1, COM2, and COM3)  
synchronous ports. (The third synchronous interface option is  
available on any AN/DC model that this guide describes.)  
Each port can operate independently with RS-232, RS-422, RS-449,  
V.28, V.35, and X.21 cables. Synchronous capability allows internal or  
external clocking.  
ISDN BRI  
Supports an S/T interface (an RJ-45 physical connector). The BRI  
provides 2 B channels, and supports full D-channel signaling and call  
setup/tear-down as defined in 1988 CCITT (now ITU-T) Q.921 and  
Q.931. For more information on ISDN, refer to Configuring Dial  
Services.  
Note that in the United States, an external NT-1 device is required to  
provide the U interface to the carrier network.  
The ISDN BRI option is available on any AN/DC model. Note that  
only one synchronous port, COM2, operates in AN/DC models that  
include ISDN BRI support.  
Data Collection  
Module (DCM)  
Gathers RMON statistics. Refer to Connecting BayStack AN and  
ANH Systems to a Network for information.

ANH-8/DC Network Interfaces  
Description  
Network  
Interface  
Ethernet  
The ANH-8/DC supports eight 10Base-T UTP repeater ports and one  
802.3 AUI port; however, you can use only one port at a time. These  
interfaces comprise a single managed segment, supporting the  
Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 standards that provide LAN connectivity.  
Some ANH-8/DC models also include an Ethernet UTP port on the  
back panel. This second Ethernet interface is not a repeater port.  
Synchronous  
ISDN BRI  
Provides WAN connectivity via either two (COM1 and COM2) or  
three (COM1, COM2, and COM3) synchronous ports.  
Each port can operate independently with RS-232, RS-422, V.28,  
V.35, and X.21 cables. Synchronous capability allows internal or  
external clocking.  
Supports an S/T interface (an RJ-45 physical connector). The BRI  
provides two B channels, and supports full D-channel signaling and  
call setup/tear-down as defined in 1988 CCITT Q.921 and Q.931. For  
more information on ISDN, refer to Configuring Dial Services.  
In the United States, an external NT-1 device is required to provide  
the U-interface to the carrier network.

Installing and Operating AN/DC and ANH-8/DC Systems  
Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) Ports  
The AN/DC back panel and ANH-8/DC front panel contains a standard 802.3  
AUI DB-15 receptacle connector with a slide lock for connection to the AUI. You  
can use the Order No. 7115 Ethernet cable, described in the Cable Guide for  
Routers and BNX Platforms, for connections to this port.  
The AUI transceiver (XCVR) port provides broadband, baseband, fiber, and  
shielded twisted-pair support, depending on the transceiver and cabling you use.  
The AUI interface connects internally to the Ethernet repeater.  
Note: The AUI port is designed only for connection to a transceiver.  
Connecting the AUI port directly to the AUI port on an Ethernet station  
(without a transceiver) violates IEEE 802.3 standards.  
Table C-5 shows the pin assignment for the standard 15-pin AUI receptacle and  
identifies its pin locations.

Technical Specifications  
10Base-T Repeater Ports (ANH-8/DC only)  
The eight Ethernet 10Base-T repeater port RJ-45 connectors on the ANH-8/DC  
front panel provide UTP support. The ANH-8/DC transmits the same information  
over each repeater port; it allows simultaneous connection to any of the eight  
10Base-T ports or AUI port.  
Each of the eight shielded RJ-45 jacks is a 10Base-T port using the standard  
media-dependent interface with internal crossover (MDI-X) pin assignment. Each  
port detects the polarity of the circuit connected to RD Pins 1 and 2 and adjusts  
polarity as necessary to correctly complete this circuit.  
The UTP repeater Ports 2 through 8 are fixed with internal crossover connection  
or media-dependent interface with crossover (MDI-X). This means that you use a  
straight-through cable when connecting to other network resources (for example,  
workstations or other nonrepeating devices).  
Table C-4 shows the RJ-45 pin assignments for the eight front-panel 10Base-T  
ports and identifies the pin locations.

Installing and Operating AN/DC and ANH-8/DC Systems  
Synchronous Interfaces  
The AN/DC and ANH-8/DC support two synchronous interfaces, labeled COM1  
and COM2. Systems with a Third Synchronous Interface or ISDN BRI upgrade  
module support a third synchronous port.  
The synchronous interfaces provide multiprotocol WAN connection through  
DB-44 receptacle connectors. Each synchronous interface can operate  
independently with RS-232, RS-422, V.35, and X.21 electrical interfaces at  
transmission rates from 1200 b/s to 2.048 Mb/s. When used with standard keyed  
cables, the ports automatically configure to the desired electrical interface.  
You can use the following cables, described in the Cable Guide for Routers and  
BNX Platforms:  
V.35 connections -- Order No. 7220  
X.21 connections -- Order No. 7224  
RS-422 connections -- Order No. 7318  
RS-232 connections -- Order No. 7826  
Table C-5 shows the signal and pin assignments for these connectors.

Installing and Operating AN/DC and ANH-8/DC Systems  
ISDN BRI Ports  
The AN/DC and ANH-8/DC support the BRI standard for ISDN using an optional  
ISDN/BRI module. The integrated ISDN BRI functionality allows you to connect  
directly to the ISDN network, as opposed to connecting via a terminal adapter.  
This solution reduces equipment costs and simplifies connection to an ISDN  
switch.  
The BRI implementation supports two dial service applications: dial-on-demand  
and dial backup. Configuring Dial Services describes these services and how to  
configure them for connection to an ISDN network.

Requirements for European Operation  
ISDN BRI Requirements  
The ISDN BRI module (Order Nos. AE0004006, AE0011013, and AE0011019  
for the ANH-8/DC) and ISDN BRI upgrade module (Order Nos. 24000, 24000-S,  
and 50022 for the AN/DC) are approved only for installation in a host, and with  
host attachments, which are either type approved for such apparatus or, if supplied  
after 1st March 1989, are marked with or supplied with a statement that the host is  
supplied under the terms of General Approval Number NS/G/1234/J/100003.  
Installation of the ISDN BRI module in any ANH-8/DC chassis (Order Nos.  
AE1001041, AE1001042, AE1001043, and AE1001044) complies with all  
requirements listed in this section. Installation of the ISDN BRI upgrade module  
in any AN complies with all requirements listed in this section.  
Power Requirements  
The ISDN BRI is powered from the host chassis and has the power requirements  
shown in Table D-9.  
Table D-9.

Up to 300 V rms or V dc  
The creepage distances apply to the normal office environment. When the local  
environment within the host chassis is subject to conductive pollution or dry  
nonconductive pollution that could become conductive due to condensation, the  
creepage distances shown in parentheses in Table D-10 will apply.  
The clearance and creepage distance between adjacent points should be checked  
as follows:  
The clearance distance (X) is the shortest distance measured between two  
points through the air.  
The creepage distance (Y) is the shortest distance between two points  
measured across a surface.  
You should obtain advice from a competent telecommunications safety engineer if  
in doubt. Failure to install the ISDN BRI according to these instructions will  
invalidate the General Approval.
