Each 160-pin connector can be connected to one 160-pin connector located
on the front panel of the MPI box.

Figure 4-21: MPI box front panel

Each of the 160-pin connectors on the MPI box interfaces to four serial ports
found on the back of the MPI box. Therefore, each MPI-8 Network Interface
module can be connected to up to eight ports. Each port has two connectors:
37-pin connector and the 25-pin connector. The 25-pin connector is used to
dial to an endpoint over an ISDN switch. (In leased line connection this port
is not used.) The 37-pin connector connects to the serial cable coming from
the DCE.
