SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
Total Access 1248 system management and provisioning is facilitated by a series of intuitive
menus that are accessible on a computer screen. The Total Access 1248 provides two methods
for management access:
•“Craft Interface” on page 5-1
•“Inband Management Interface” on page 5-2
Craft Interface
Connection to the Total Access 1248 system menus can be made through the DB-9 connector,
labeled CRAFT, on the front of the Total Access 1248 system. A DB-9 straight cable is required.
The craft port is located behind the front panel cover (see Figure 5-1) of the Total Access 1248.
