Because the Multi-User Feature Package allows multiple login sessions, it is possible to delegate Intuity system administration duties to several people. This not only divides up the work needed to maintain an Intuity system but also gives subscribers and callers several points of contact should a problem occur.

Dedicated Line Access

Dedicated line access can be used when a specific terminal will always be connected to the line, that is, when dial-up access is not required. Dedicated line access is always to the first available port on the Multi-Port Serial Card. Dedicated line access can be accomplished in the following ways:

If the terminal is within 50 feet of the Intuity system, the terminal can be connected directly to the Multi-Port Serial card using either of the methods shown in Figure 4-12.

If the terminal is more than 50 feet from the Intuity system, it can be connected to the Multi-Port Serial card using ADUs as line extenders.

In all other cases, remote access connections (using dial-up modems) should be used.

Connecting Dedicated Lines within 50 Feet

These methods are used only when the Intuity system and the terminal are within 50 feet.

The following parts are required:

Multi-Port Serial Card (if not already installed)

6-position, 6-conductor straight-through modular cord (supplied with Multi-Port Serial Card)

DCE 4/6-to-DB-25P Adapter

NOTE:

This adapter has slanted sides as shown in Figure 4-12.

DB-25 M-F cable

Refer to Figure 4-12.Connect the local terminal by following these steps:

1.Connect one end of the 6-position, 6-conductor modular cord to the first available port on the Multi-Port Serial Card.

2.Connect the other end of the modular cord to the DTE 4/6-toDB-25P adapter.

3.Connect the matching end of the DB-25 M-F cable to the DTE 4/6-to-DB- 25P adapter.

4.Connect the other end of the DB-25 M-F cable to the AT&T 715 terminal.
