DS3-10/100 RIOP Front Panel
This section of the manual will help you install the DS3-10/100 RIOP  to connect a local 
Ethernet and remote corporate network.  These connections can be made to other Compatible 
Systems routers or routers from other vendors.
In summary, the steps for installation are:
1.
After mounting the router or placing on a desktop, make sure it is not connected to 
any power source.
2.
Connect the router to the Ethernet network.
3.
Connect the router to the DS3 transmission equipment.
4.
Connect a management console to the router (optional).
5.   Plug in the power cable and power up the router.
Ethernet Connection Requirements
The 10/100 Ethernet interface directly supports 100BaseTx or 10BaseT twisted-pair Ethernet.  
To connect the router’s Ethernet interface to twisted-pair Ethernet cabling, you will need an 
unshielded twisted-pair station cable that is connected to a 10BaseT-compatible twisted-pair 
hub (for a transmit speed of 10 Mbps) or a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet hub (for a transmit speed of 
100 Mbps).
Note: Ethernet cables and cable connectors are not supplied with the DS3-10/100 RIOP 
product.  Category 5 cabling is required for 100 BaseT operation. Please contact your reseller 
or your Compatible Systems representative for information on obtaining the correct Ethernet 
cabling supplies.
DS3 Line Connection Requirements
The DS3-10/100 RIOP includes an integrated DS3 CSU/DSU.  To connect this interface to 
your DS3 transmission equipment, you will need two coaxial cables.  
These cables require special tools to be built correctly.  You can use your approved cable 
supplier or you can contact your reseller or your Compatible Systems representative for a list 
of cable suppliers.  To have a cable built, use the following specifications: 
Cable Type: AT&T type 734A or equivalent
Connector Type: AMP Incorporated 413589-7 or equivalent (75 Ohm BNC plug)
Maximum Length: 900 feet
Note:   The DS3-10/100 RIOP includes loopback features which can be used to check the 
functionality of your DS3 line.  Before attempting to route network traffic, use these features to 
check the line’s basic integrity.
