4.9 THE 9116 INTELLIGENT PATCH PANEL
The 9116 Intelligent Patch Panel (IPP) is used to provide software selectable physical
interfaces to the 4180 or 4280 user ports. The 9116 supports RS-232, V.35, V.11, RS-
530, RS-530A, X.21, RS-422, RS-449, and V.36 interfaces. The 9116 can operate as a
DTE or a DCE on a per port basis.
The following is a diagram of the 9116 IPP:

Please note that the 9116 does not have switches of any kind. All configuration
information is dynamically set by the 4000XA, 4180 or 4280. The DB25 interfaces are on
the rear side of the panel, and the RJ45 interfaces and LED indicators are on the front
side.
The 9116 IPP is connected to the 4000XA, 4180 or 4280 on a port by port basis using a
short RJ45 to RJ45 straight cable. There is no requirement to connect all of the 4000XA,
4180 or 4280 ports to the 9116 IPP. Each port will operate independently.
