and medium-sized ISPs to interconnect eight (using the FIC-8ASE) or 16 (using the
FIC-16ASE) LANs through asynchronous dialup lines.
Interface Attributes The following table describes the interface attributes of the FIC-8ASE and
FIC-16ASE:
Interface LEDs The following figures show the FIC-8ASE and FIC-16ASE panels:
Figure 191 FIC-8ASE panel
Figure 192 FIC-16ASE panel
The FIC-8ASE/FIC-16ASE has one LED for each port. These LEDs are located in the
apertures beneath the ports. ON means a link is present; OFF means data is being
transmitted and/or received.
Interface Cable The FIC-8ASE/FIC-16ASE uses two types of interface cables: AUX cable and dumb
terminal cable (RJ-45-to-RJ-45), which can be made on site with network cables.
