3-44 Cisco IGX 8400 Series Installation and Configuration

Connecting the Printer

At least one node in the network should have a printer connected. The printer connects to the AUX
port on the SCM.

The printer is used to print information about network operation. It can be configured to print
maintenance information on a regular basis, and it can print specific diagnostic information when
necessary. Instructions on using the printer for this purpose are in the Cisco WAN Switching
Command Reference. (Appendix A in the Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference lists all
commands. The printer-related commands have the characters “prt.” somewhere in the command
mnemonic.)

Attach the printer to the IGX node as follows:

Check the printer EIA/TIA-232/V.24 cabling pinout and, if required, adjust the DIP
switches to the settings indicated for the type of printer to be connected to the IGX node.
See Appendix B for EIA/TIA-232/V.24 cable pinout and DIP switch settings.

At the back of the cabinet, run the printer EIA/TIA-232/V.24 cable through the opening
at the bottom and up to the SCM card in back slot 1.

Locate the AUX port connector on the SCM and attach the printer EIA/TIA-232/V.24
cable to it. See Figure 3-20.
