Cabling Considerations
NBase-Xyplex offers a family of products that support access serving
features. Each product can be connected to a variety of modems or other
devices through one of three wiring schemes (with 6, 7, or 8 wires) which
support different modem control and hardware flow control options. A
fourth wiring scheme, which is available on some products, uses 3 wires and
is not suitable for modem-based applications.
Standard cabling items available from NBase-Xyplex allow you to connect to
any serial device that uses a male or female DB-25 connector. All you need
is the appropriate modular cable (crossover cable for connecting to a DTE
device, straight-through cable for connecting to a DCE device), and the
correct modular adapter (male or female DB-25 connector), which is
essentially an RJ-45-to-DB25 adapter.
Ordering Cables
NBase-Xyplex also supplies DEConnect-compatible crossover cables and
modular adapters for use with all MAXserver units. To order cables,
adapters or other cabling accessories from NBase-Xyplex, contact your Sales
representative or distributor.
