TN2170 RS-232 Connection
This connection is used for customer access to the DEFINITY LAN Gateway application. See Task 7 for wiring information.
Task 7: Install the Terminal (Optional)
This task is optional, but the temporary installation described below is recommended to facilitate initial administration of the DEFINITY LAN Gateway application.
You can install a terminal or a terminal emulator device, such as a PC or laptop, to perform administration and maintenance operations. The terminal may be permanently installed, or may be temporarily installed when direct administration or maintenance is desired. The connection for a directly attached terminal is always available for AT&T services personnel. This terminal is usually connected via a direct cable to Admin/Port B, but can be connected remotely if desired.
NOTE:
Once initial administration is completed, the directly connected terminal may be disconnected and further administration and maintenance may be accomplished over the LAN with a terminal emulator that supports Telnet access.
The terminal can be connected to Admin/Port B in one of four ways:
Via a direct connection
Via modems
Via Asynchronous Data Units (ADUs)
Via 7400A data sets
The connectivity for all supported terminals is similar. Therefore, the subtasks for this task are the same for all supported terminals. See Appendix B for a list of supported terminals and modems.
If you are connecting a PC using
If you are connecting a generic PC with a terminal emulation package, you must ensure that the terminal emulation package is set to support a terminal type listed in Appendix B.
