Access
Grounding
Ensure that the equipment you are working with is properly grounded.
For instructions on grounding your HWIC, refer to
Routers.
Cables
After you install the serial HWIC, use the appropriate serial cable to connect the HWIC ports to the
following types of equipment:
•
•
The 4-port serial HWICs have 26-pin 12-in-1 Cisco smart serial ports, whereas the 8- and 16-port serial
HWICs have 68-pin serial ports. Use the correct cable for your serial HWIC.
Cables for 4-Port Serial HWICs
The 4-port serial HWICs use Cisco smart serial cables. Six types of smart serial cables are available:
•
•
•
•
•
•
All of these serial cables provide a 26-pin plug at the interface card end. The network end of each cable
provides the physical connectors most commonly used for the interface. For example, the network end
of the EIA/TIA-232 serial cable is a DB-25 connector, the most widely used EIA/TIA-232 connector.
Refer to the
of these cables.
The EIA-530 and EIA-530A serial cables are available in DTE format only. All other cables are available
in either DTE or DCE format.
