CONNECTING THE CISCO NM-AIC-64 NETWORK MODULE TO THE NETWORK
The alarm and remote-control features of the AIC are accessed via four female small computer serial interface (SCSI) II (Micro DB-50) interfaces
(see Figure 2). A SCSI II (Micro DB-50) cable with male connectors is required to interface the female SCSI II interfaces on a AIC Network Module
to a SCSI II-to-Telco-50 pin patch panel. Two different patch panels are available based on customer requirements (see Table 1). It is highly
recommended that a patch panel be used in conjunction with the AIC. Figures 2 and 3 give examples of the two types of patch panels. SCSI cables
and the recommended patch panels are not supplied with the network module; they are orderable separately as necessary. The recommended patch
panels and cables are available either from Cisco Systems or Components Express (www.networkcable.com). (See Table 1 for part numbers).
