Connecting to Network Devices 4-19

Connecting the The CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch can be configured via the LMA Control Terminal using the Administration Console terminal (VT100) or terminal emulator

(Windows). To connect a terminal to the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch control port:

1Prepare an RS-232 shielded cable (9 pin-to-9 pin or 9 pin-to-25 pin, as dictated by the terminal you wish to use).

2Configure the terminal: 19200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, xon/xoff flow control.

3Push the DCE side of the cable onto the Control port of the switch module and screw it into place.

4Connect the other end of the cable to the terminal.

In case you have installed a redundant switch unit, it is sufficient to connect the RS-232 line to either the active switch control port or to the redundant switch control port.

Connecting to the The Ethernet port is used for connecting directly to a Transcend NMS Ethernet Port terminal for management purposes.

In case you have installed a redundant switch module, its Ethernet port must also be connected directly to the Transcend NMS terminal.

Another way of connecting the Ethernet port to an out-of-band Ethernet network is to connect it to a CoreBuilder 7200 Ethernet/ATM Interface Card or a CB7400 High Density Ethernet/ATM Interface Card installed in the same chassis.

Connecting to the This section describes how to connect the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM Power Source switch to the power source.
