Planning the Installation
This section describes the cables necessary for the
installation of an AT-iMG606BD Multiservice Gateway.
LAN Ports
Table 4 contains the cabling specifications for the LAN
ports.
Note
The twisted pair ports on the gateway feature auto-
MDI when operating at either 10 or 100 Mbps. Each
port is individually configured as MDI or MDI-X when
connected to an end node. Consequently, you can use
either a straight-through or crossover twisted pair
cable when connecting any network device to a
twisted pair port on the gateway.
Fiber Optic
Uplink Port
For cable and operating specifications for the fiber optic
uplink port, refer to “100Base-FX Fiber Optic Uplink (WAN)
Port” on page 47.
Console Port
The console port has an eight-pin DIN connector. To order
the AT-RGCONSOLECABLE-00 management cable,
contact your Allied Telesyn sales representative.
