A Basic E-Lan/T-LAN question

[srachmaninoff]

To my shame, I have not had enough experience with the E-LAN and T-LAN portion of the Option 11 for my memory recall to be as strong as I would like. What connector does the ITG adapter interface with in order for the E-LAN and T-LAN to communicate with the network?

The connector that you plug into the 50 pin amp on the backplane will have a tlan and a elan connection that will plug into your network switch. The elan should be on its own isolated network so as not to recieve broadcast storms from the network. The tlan connection will connect to the customer network. Do not forget to install the sheilding kit on the patch cords plugged into the ITG adaptor, it will make a difference.

I have the connector with the T-LAN/E-LAN connection that plugs into the network. My question is where do you plug it in so it will talk to the option 11's network configuration.

I am not sure if I understand. The ITG card has one tlan and one elan connection that goes to the layer 2 switch. You should have a NTDK27AA cable plugged in to the backplane. It is located under the card cage and to the left of the amp connectors. It has a 15 pin connector that will plug into a transceiver. From the transceiver go to the layer 2 switch that has a separate elan segmented from the rest of the network.
