4)
Ensure that 1 to 1-1/2 inches of the cable protrude from the bead (on the end
you will install into the modem's rear panel connector).
5)
Snap the bead closed.
6)
Insert the cable into the appropriate connector (Port 4) on the rear of the
Vanguard 300 (with the ferrite bead close to the Vanguard 300 rear panel
connector).
Example Installation
Figure 2-3 shows how the ferrite bead is to be installed on the cable.

Connecting Cables
Follow these steps to cable the Vanguard 300/305.
Step
Action
1
Connect the power cables
2
Install the Ferrite Bead on the CTP cable.
3
Connect the interface cables.
4
For a Vanguard 300, confirm strapping for either 10BaseT or AUI (see
the "Strapping the Ethernet Interface on a Vanguard 300" in Chapter 4).
For a Vanguard 305, no strapping is required as the connection type is
automatically sensed. The connection can be either STP or UTP, but only
one can be connected at a time.
5
Connect the power cord to a power source.
