Motherboard
The motherboard supports up to three serial interfaces.
Serial Ports
The Vanguard 300/305 is available with one or two serial ports, plus an optional
third port for a daughtercard option (DSU, V.35 DIM site card, etc.). You can also
use the optional port for dial backup or as a second user port. See "Port
Characteristics" in this section for more details.
Vanguard 300 Ethernet Port
On the Vanguard 300, one port is a LAN port configured for Ethernet AUI and
10BaseT interfaces. Strapping is required during installation to configure the unit
for AUI or 10BaseT operation. The default configuration, shipped from the
factory, is 10BaseT.
Vanguard 305 Token Ring Port
On the Vanguard 305, one port is a LAN port configured for a Token Ring
connection. There are connectors for both shielded (STP) and unshielded (UTP)
cables, but only one cable can be connected at any time. No strapping is required
during installation to configure the unit as the port will automatically configure
for the connected interface.
