Serial Communication Controller (SCC) Procedures (78581A)
The following procedures describe the detailed steps for installing a Serial
Distribution Network (SDN) between an instrument wall box and the
Serial Communication Controller (SCC) using UTP cable. Procedures for
connecting the SCC to a patch panel are given for both RJ 45 and 110
punch-down type systems.
Agilent recommends that these steps be performed by a licensed LAN
installer who will certify the terminated UTP cable.
Agilent is responsible for the following steps:
1. Qualify UTP cable
2. Complete wall box installation
3. Wire patch cable to SCC
4. Connect patch cable to patch panel
5. Perform final operational check
