AT&T Remote Port Security Device user manual Location of Administration Terminal or Printer

Location of Administration Terminal or Printer

For the purposes of installation, it is simplest if the RPSD Lock or Key administration terminal or printer is co-located with the RPSD Lock or Key. However, this is not always possible. In the event that the terminal or printer must be located at some distance from the RPSD Lock or Key (in another room, on another floor, etc.), the limitations of the EIA-RS232 interface must be considered.

To overcome such restrictions, the baud rate of the administration terminal or other equipment connected to the Aux. Port should be adjusted as follows:

■Cables of 0-50 feet - a maximum 9600 baud

■Cables of 50-100 feet - a maximum 4800 baud

■Cables of 100-2000 feet - a maximum 2400 baud

Set the link speed by using the Set Communications Parameters command from the Menu of Commands. See Chapter 3, RPSD System Administration for details on using this command with the RPSD Lock or Chapter 4, RPSD Key Use for details on using this command with the RPSD Key.
