With optional upgrades installed, the ANH-8/DC also supports
An ISDN basic rate interface (BRI) for direct (without terminal adapter)
connection to the ISDN network

Table C-2
summarizes the communications interfaces; the sections that follow
describe each interface in more detail and provide cable and connector
specifications. See Chapter 2 for information and illustrations about the front- and
back-panel cable connections.
Note:
The Ethernet repeater ports operate as a single interface. Software
configuration parameters (for example, the port IP address) apply to all ports.
Note:
When using an N11 DCM, the ANH-8/DC requires Router Software
Version 9.00 or later and Site Manager Software Version 3.00 or later.
