This section describes placing the module in Gecko 8900 and GeckoFlex
frames and cabling the communications ports for all frame types. Proce-
dures for DIP switch settings, installation, and cabling of the module are
described in this section.

external RS-232 Frame Alarm, and the SNMP reporting system.
Note
The GeckoFlex frame requires an 8900NET module running 4.0.0 or later
software. See
