2.2.1 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. Refer to “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 con-
figuration 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 3-31.

- One RJ-48 to RJ-48 cable for each T1/E1 or ISDN-BRI S/T 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 adaptor is also required for an E1-75 connection on an E1/T1 port. The
following adaptor is available:
RJ-48 to E1-75 dual BNC (Ordering part number AG2CA0001). See “Adap-
tor Cable” on page 4-35 for details.
- One custom-made HD-26 cable for each serial port. Details are provided in
