Installation Manual

1. Disconnect the router from any directly connected FDDI ring.
2. Connect the bypass switch to the FDDI ring by plugging the MIC A
and MIC B connectors from the FDDI ring into the corresponding ‘‘A’’
and ‘‘B’’ ports in the bypass switch. (For details on connecting to the
FDDI ring, refer to the instructions for your bypass switch.)
3. Ensure that the bypass cables are keyed properly to allow only the
connection of the ‘‘A’’ cable to the router’s ‘‘MIC A’’ port and the ‘‘B’’
cable to the router’s ‘‘MIC B’’ port. (Refer to the instructions for your
bypass switch.)
4. Connect the bypass cables to the FDDI ports as shown above.
5. Insert the DIN connector on the bypass unit into the Optical Bypass
jack on the HP Router BR.
Note The router will not detect the presence of a new connection to the FDDI
ring until you reboot the router (which is covered later in this chapter).
