Straight-through Ethernet Cable

To connect the LAN port to a hub you need a straight-through Ethernet cable (see Figure B-2).

Serial Connector and Null Modem Cable

The null modem cable (crossover cable) is a Y-cable that connects the VTA to the configuration PC. It is used to set VTA IP addresses using a terminal session. The 9-pin male connector connects to the VTA's console (serial) port on the front panel; the 9-pin female connector connects to configuration PC (COM 1).


Note If you connect the 25-pin male connector to the configuration PC (COM 2), you may need a female/female adapter.

EIA/TIA-232 9-Pin Male Connector Pinout

Table B-1 contains function and direction information for an EIA/TIA-232 9-pin male connector.

Null Modem Cable

To connect the VTA console port to a modem or a PC you need a null modem cable. Figure B-3 illustrates the connector configuration.

DCE Mode V.35/EIA/TIA-366 Y-Cable

This cable connects the VTA to the H.320 room system. The 26-pin male connector connects to port 1 on the rear panel of the VTA; the other end of the cable has one V.35 female connector and one 25-pin D-type EIA/TIA-366 female connector. For 2B calls, two of these cables are required; the second cable's male connector connects to port 2 on the VTA.
