WAN Connection Pinouts

WAN interfaces support V.35, RS-449, EIA-530, X.21 with one clock source cable pinouts, and X.21 with two clock source cable pinouts.

The cable configurations for these interfaces are shown in Figures C-1 through C-5.

Note Only the pins that are connected to the SwitchProbe device are shown. Pins that go straight through, connecting DTE to DCE, are not shown.

Figure C-3: EIA/TIA-530 Tap Cable Pinout

Figure C-4: X.21 Tap (One Clock) Cable Pinout

Figure C-5: X.21 Tap (Two-Clock) Cable Pinout

WAN Connection Pinouts

The WAN interface is an EIA/TIA-232 connector.

Note Only the pins that are connected to the SwitchProbe device (or the tap) are shown in Figure C-6.
