2.3.1 What You Will Need
For trouble-free installation of the NetPerformer hardware make sure you have the
following on hand:
• The SDM-9XXX Series unit, with all accessories, cables and optional hardware
you received in the product package. For details, see “Product Description” on
page 4-1.
• At least one of the following configuration and management access devices:
- A console terminal (TTY terminal or a PC equipped with terminal emulation
software) for direct or dial-up connection to the console port at the rear of the
SDM-9XXX Series unit, or
- A TELNET network device accessed through IP connectivity over LAN/WAN,
or
- An SNMP agent accessed through IP connectivity over LAN/WAN.
NOTE: When you first take the SDM-9XXX Series unit out of the box, the only
configuration device you can use is the console terminal, since the unit does not
yet have an IP address. For details, see “Connecting the Console Terminal” on
page 3-34.
• A sufficient number and length of cables for all ports:
- One RJ-48 to RJ-48 cable for each T1/E1 port (at least 26AWG, or 0.4mm)
- Two BNC coaxial cables for each T1/E1 port that will be configured for E1-75
operations
NOTE: An adapter is also required for an E1-75 connection on an E1/T1 port. The
following adapter is available:
RJ-48 to E1-75 dual BNC (Ordering part number: AG2CA0001). See “Adapter
Cable” on page 4-45 for details.
- One custom-made HD-26 cable for each serial port. Details are provided in
“Serial Port and User Equipment Connections” on page 5-1.
- One straight through 10/100 Base-T LAN cable, RJ-45M to RJ-45M, for each
Ethernet port.
