Installing the CSC-MEC and CSC-C2MEC Multiport Ethernet Controller Cards 78-0716-02 Product Numbers: CSC-MEC2=, CSC-MEC4=, CSC-MEC6=, CSC-C2MEC2=, CSC-C2MEC4=, and CSC-C2MEC6= This document provides the procedures for installing the ciscoBus multiport Ethernet controller cards (CSC-MEC and CSC-C2MEC) in your AGS+ router. The CSC-MEC is compatible only with the first-generation ciscoBus controller card (CSC-CCTL); the CSC-C2MEC is compatible only with the second-generation ciscoBus controller card (CSC-CCTL2). ciscoBus compatibility is described in the section, “Configuring the CSC-MEC and CSC-C2MEC Cards,” on page 9. In the following sections, the terms CSC-MEC or MEC are used to indicate both cards unless otherwise indicated. The CSC-MEC and CSC-C2MEC differ only by firmware version; the CSC-C2MEC works only with the CSC-CCTL2. There are two hardware versions of the CSC-MEC: Version 5.0 and Version 5.1. Version 5.1 CSC-MEC cards can be used as CSC-C2MEC cards (with Microcode Version 10.0 or later), but Version 5.0 CSC-MEC cards cannot be used as CSC-C2MEC cards. The CSC-MEC card occupies a ciscoBus slot in the system card cage. Standard 15-pin or 10BaseT Ethernet appliques, which are installed on connector plates in the rear of the chassis, provide the interface between the CSC-MEC card and your 802.3/Ethernet Version 2 or Version 1 network. The sections in this document include the following: • Description of Parts, page 2 • Installation Prerequisites, page 7 • CSC-MEC Card, page 2 • Configuring the CSC-MEC and CSC-C2MEC Cards, page 9 • ciscoBus Configuration Considerations, page 10 • Installation, page 17 • Configuring the Interfaces, page 26 With the exception of compatibility requirements and the LEDs used to verify the installation, the procedures are the same for both the CSC-MEC (first-generation ciscoBus) and CSC-C2MEC (second-generation ciscoBus) cards.
