Connecting a CAT to the Control Unit

Connecting a CAT

to the Control Unit

The Call Accounting Terminal (CAT) is a stand-alone unit that provides call accounting information. It connects to the SMDR jack on the control unit and links the control unit to the CAT printer. The connection of the CAT to the control unit depends on the distance and whether the CAT and control unit share the same AC outlet.

The CAT and CAT printer are connected at the same time. For more information, see “Call Accounting Terminal” in Chapter 8.

■If the CAT is grounded to the same AC outlet as the control unit and

the CAT and CAT printer are within 14 ft. (4.27 m) and 50 ft. (15.2 m), respectively, of the control unit, refer to “Connecting a CAT andPrinter

on the Same AC Outlet.”

■If the CAT is either not grounded to the same AC outlet as the control unit or is more than 14 ft. (4.27 m) from the control unit, refer to “Connecting a CAT and Printer on a Different AC Outlet.”

CAUTION:

To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD), avoid touching leads, connectors, pins, and other components. Wear a properly grounded wrist strap.
