SETTING UP AND TESTING
THE
DESKTOP UNIT
This chapter describes how to install an interface card into the Campus-RS
Desktop Unit, set basic configuration options, and test the HDSL link.
SURGE PROTECTION
To protect you and your Campus-RS devices, ADC recommends the use of a
dual line Network Interface Device (NID) with a gas tube or solid state
composition. The NID can protect a line unit in the Campus-Star chassis and
Campus-Star Desktop Units.
For surge protection:
• the maximum recommended breakdown voltage should not exceed
300 Vdc
• carbon-based protection devices are not recommended
• data line surge protectors can also be used
Make sure the interface card you are installing is a
Campus-RS interface card. The Campus-RS Desktop Unit is
not compatible with previous versions of Campus interface
cards.
Most lines leased from your local telephone company already
have protection devices installed. Contact your telephone
company to see if your lines require additional protection.
