Quick Start Guide

Installation of RIC-155 should be carried out only by an experienced technician. If you are familiar with RIC-155, use this guide to prepare the units for operation.

1.Installing RIC-155

Connecting the Interfaces

1.Connect the STM-1/OC-3c equipment to the fiber optic or BNC rear panel connectors.

2.Connect the 10/100BT LAN to the DATA rear panel connector.

3.Use a cross cable to connect the control terminal to the rear panel CONTROL connector.

or

Connect a Telnet host, a PC running a Web browsing application or a RADview management station to the MNG port.

Connecting the Power

•Connect the power cable to the power connector on the RIC-155 rear panel.

The unit has no power switch. Operation starts when the power is applied to the rear panel power connector(s).

2.Configuring RIC-155

Configure RIC-155 to the desired operation mode via an ASCII terminal connected to the rear panel CONTROL port. Alternatively, you can manage RIC-155 over Telnet, a PC running a Web browsing application or RADview application via the MNG port.

Starting Terminal Session for a First Time

To start a terminal session:

1.Connect a terminal cross-cable to the CONTROL connector of RIC-155.

2.Start a terminal application and configure the terminal link as follows: Terminal emulation – VT100

Screen width – more than 80 characters.

3.Power RIC-155 up.

The SIG LED (green) blinks during software extraction and hardware initialization.
