The cable connections for the RouteFinder are made at the back panel. The three types of cables are
used on the RouteFinder include: the Command Port, Link 1 (2 and 3), and the Ethernet. The cable
connections are shown in Figure 1-3 and defined in the following groups.

Link RS232C/D/V.35 Connector(s)
The Link connector(s) connects the RouteFinder to a WAN servicer. The link connector is generally
cabled to an asynchronous or synchronous communications device such as a modem, DSU, or
ISDN. This connection can be either RS232C/D or V.35. For any V.35 connection, the shunt for that
link must be moved from its default RS232 position to the V.35 position. All the Link connectors are
DB25 male connectors.
Ethernet 10BaseT Connector
The Ethernet 10BaseT connector is used to connect the RouteFinder to a LAN using unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) cable. This connector is an RJ-45 jack.
Ethernet 10Base5 Connector
The 10Base5 connector connects the RouteFinder to a thickwire Ethernet cable. This connector is a
15-pin D-type female connector.
Command Port Connector
The Command Port connector is used to configure the RouteFinder using a Windows
®
PC with an
available serial (COM) port.
Power Connector
The Power connector is used to connect the external power supply to the RouteFinder. The Power
connector is a 6-pin circular DIN connector. A separate power cord connects the power supply to a
live AC grounded outlet.
