DLP-1 Connecting a VT100 Terminal or PC to the CRAFT Port

Introduction

Total Access 6XX shelf management and provisioning are facilitated by a series of intuitive menus that are accessible on a computer screen. Connecting either a VT100 terminal or a PC emulating a VT100 terminal to the RJ-48 CRAFT port on the rear of the unit allows access to the menus and management features of the Total Access 6XX. An adapter is required for access to this rear port. For more details concerning this adapter, refer to CRAFT Port on page 31. This DLP specifies how to connect the VT100 terminal or PC to the unit.

Prerequisite Procedures

The Total Access 6XX must be powered for terminal communication to function.
