Connecting to the Network
Warning
To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to
telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN
ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports use both RJ-45 connectors. Use
caution when connecting cables. To see translations of the warnings that appear in the
publication, refer to the
Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information
document that
accompanied this device.
Warning
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning
activity. To see translations of the warnings that appear in the publication, refer to the
Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information
document that accompanied this device.
Caution
If the universal gateway is configured with fewer than seven DFCs, make sure that a blank
slot cover is installed over each open slot to ensure proper airflow.
Note
The universal gateway arrives with all carrier cards and DFCs already installed, unless you
order a card separately as a spare. Refer to the
Cisco AS5350 and Cisco AS5400 Universal
Gateway Card Installation Guide
for card installation instructions.
Connecting to an Ethernet Network
You can connect the universal gateway to an Ethernet network by using a straight-through
RJ-45-to-RJ-45 Ethernet cable to connect the Fast Ethernet port to an Ethernet hub. (See
Figure 3-6
.)
