Installing the AsantéBridge 1012
Using the rear panel RJ21 connector
You can also access the twelve hub ports through a Telco punch-
down block connected to the RJ21 connector on the rear of the
AsantéBridge.
You can connect some devices to the front panel RJ45 ports and
some devices to the RJ21 port. The only restriction is that you can-
not connect the same port in both places.
For example, you can connect devices to ports 1,3,5,7,9, and 11
using the front panel RJ45 ports, and ports 2,4,6,8,10, and 12 via
the Telco punchdown block connected to the RJ21 connector on
the rear hub panel.
However, you cannot, for example, connect ports 2,3,4, and 5 to
the front panel, and ports 2,3,4, and 5 using the RJ21 connector.
Now that you have completed a quick installation for your new
AsantéBridge 1012, you should explore different ways to config-
ure it in your network and learn how to manage it, using either
AsantéView 2.2 network management software or a local manage-
ment terminal.
For more information about configuring your new unit in your
network, see the next chapter, “Connecting to the Network”.
For information on AsantéBridge local management, see
“AsantéBridge Local Management”, also in this manual.
