Ethernet LAN Connection
The Ethernet LAN port on the rear of the IAD is an RJ-45 jack for
10/100Base-T Ethernet cables. If the IAD is intended to act as an Internet
gateway for the LAN in the customer’s premises, connect the IAD to the
switch, hub, or router using an Ethernet straight-through cable.
NOTICE: You may temporarily connect the IAD directly to a PC for Telnet
configuration (without going through a hub or router). The Ethernet
receiver automatically detects the type of Ethernet cable
(customer-supplied).
WAN Connections
WAN connections vary, based on the WAN interface on your IAD. The 8308
is an SDSL-equipped IAD and uses an RJ-11 connector to connect to the rear
panel WAN connection. To make the connection, plug the SDSL cable into
the RJ-11 WAN connector. (Refer to page B-6.) The 8208 is a
T1/E1-equipped IAD and uses an RJ-48 connector on the IAD rear panel for
WAN connection. To make the connection, plug the cable from the ATM
network into the RJ-45 WAN connector. Refer to page B-6 to see the pinouts
for the T1/E1 connection.
Telephone Connections
The 8000 Series IADs provide eight RJ-11 ports for POTS devices. These
devices may be POTS telephones, modems, FAX machines, or other
POTS-compatible devices.
Life Line Connection
The IADs have an RJ-11 Life Line associated with the POTS line. (Refer to
the table below.) The Life Line is an analog line that can be directly
connected to the PSTN. In case of power loss or loss of voice gateway
connection, the designated POTS line automatically switches to the Life Line
connection.
NOTICE: The 8104/8108 uses the WAN connection for the Life Line connection.
