1. The IBM 3746 Nways Multiprotocol Controller Model 900 is manufactured
according to the International Safety Standard
EN 60950 and as such is
approved
in the UK under the General Approval Number NS/G/1234/J/100003
for indirect connection to the public telecommunication network.
2. The network adapter interfaces housed within the IBM 3746 Nways
Multiprotocol Controller Model 900 are approved separately, each one having
its own independent approval number. These interface adapters, supplied by
IBM, do not use or contain excessive voltages. An excessive voltage is one
that exceeds 42.4 V peak ac or 60 V dc. They interface with the IBM 3746
Nways Multiprotocol Controller Model 900 using Safety Extra Low Voltages
(SELV) only.
In order to maintain the separate (independent) approval of the
IBM adapters, it is essential that other optional cards, not supplied by IBM, do
not use mai
ns voltages or any other excessive voltages. Seek advice from a
competent engineer before installing other adapters not supplied by IBM.

Who Should Use this Guide
This guide is intended for personnel who are responsible for the initial installation
and later configuration changes of the 3745/3746-900, such as:
• Network generalists
• System programmers
• System service personnel
© Copyright IBM Corp. 1988, 1997
xv

• IBM 3745/3746-900 trained service representatives.
The user should have an understanding of teleprocessing, modem operations, and
Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking/High Performance Routing (APPN/HPR).
Teleprocessing specialists should use also:
• The on-line information (help, guides and other materials) for:
The Maintenance and Operator Sub-System -Extended (MOSS-E)
The Controller Configuration and Management (CCM)
The Multiaccess Enclosure Management (IBM 2216 base)
The APPN/HPR and IP control points functions

• The publications listed in Appendix C, "Bibliographies."
How this Guide is Organized
This guide describes the user tasks for connecting and integrating lines to the
3745/3746-900.
Important ----------------------------------------------~
Before starting a procedure, ensure you are familiar with the general information
at the beginning of its chapter and know the requirements for the procedure.
This guide contains the following parts:
Part 1. Connecting, describes the connection tasks for the hardware: the L1Cs,
TICs, LCBs, ARCs, and the cables for the various types of communication and
service lines.
Part 2. Integrating, explains the procedures used to integrate hardware and
software configuration changes into the network.
Part 3. Appendices, has two appendices which expJain how to calculate the
low-speed scanner (LSS), and
L1C types 11, 12, and 16 line weights.
At the back of this guide is a list of abbreviations, a glossary, and the index.
What is New in this Guide
This revised edition gives information concerning:
• "Unplugging or Plugging in a Multiaccess Enclosure Adapter Cable" on
page 3-12.
• Connectivity improvement in Appendix B, "Communication Line Processor
Characteristics and Line Weights."

Part 1. Connecting
This part consists of three chapters which describe the procedures for changing
user-accessible hardware (located
in a reserved area) by qualified customer
personnel:
• Chapter 1,3745 Models 210 to 61A: Connecting LlCs and Cables, and
• Chapter 2,3745 Models 130 to 17A: Connecting LlCs and Cables, describe
the procedures for changing:
-Line interface couplers
-Line interface coupler cables
-High-speed scanner cables
-Token-ring adapter cables
-Ethernet LAN AUI cables
-Operator console cables
-Remote support facility cable
-Customer power control cable.
• Chapter 3,3746-900: Installing LCBs and ARCs, Connecting Cables, describes
the procedures for changing:
-Ethernet Bridge cables
-Multiaccess Enclosure cables
-Token-ring interface coupler type 3 cables
-Line interface coupler types
11, 12, and 16 cables
-Line connection boxes (LCBs)
-Active remote connection (ARC) assemblies and cables.
These procedures are performed at initial installation and durtng later modifications
of your
3745,3745 Models A and 3746-900.
Initial installation refers to the first installation of your 3745, 3745 Models A and
3746-900 or its re-installation after moving the machine. This is done with the help
of the IBM service representative.
Later modifications refer
to changes made at any other time. These later
modifications do not require a service representative.
Notes:
1. While using the procedures in this part, the 3745/3746-900 can be powered
ON.
2. For the 3746-900, only the TIC3 cables can be changed by the user. Adding,
removing, or changing the TIC3s themselves is done by the IBM service
representative.
