make sure that you have the necessary equipment for connecting to the
local Ethernet and the wide area transmission device(s) (56K CSU/
DSU, ISDN terminal adapter, T1/E1 CSU/DSU).
Ethernet Connection Requirements
The RISC Router 3500R’s Ethernet interface directly supports thick and
10BaseT twisted-pair Ethernet. Switching between media types is auto-
matic -- simply plug the proper Ethernet connector into its matching
port. Other Ethernet cabling types (such as thin Ethernet, fiber optic
cabling or pre-10BaseT twisted-pair) can be supported using adapters
which connect to the thick Ethernet port.
