3.1.4 Switch connections: Computer links
When a DCX3000 Switch is used, it sits as the central matrix between the various host computers and the users. The host com-
puter links are generally made via the sockets at the rear of the switch, although some host links can also be supported from the
sockets on the front panel (see below).
3.1.4.1 To connect a host link
1 Connect the CAT7 cable from the remote DCX3000 SAM host module to a
vacant RJ-45 socket on the rear panel of the DCX3000 Switch.
