Hardware Components

When you order the RPSD Lock device, you receive the Lock, power supply, a 7-foot cable with modular connectors on each end, and a 14 foot cable with modular connectors on each end. If any other cables or connectors are required, they must be ordered separately. In addition, any peripheral devices, such as the administration terminal or printer, are customer supplied.

A PBX and modem are assumed to be at the customer site already.

Note: Although the printer is not essential to system operation, it is highly recommended that a printer be dedicated to the RPSD Lock. Because the System Activity Log is limited to storing sixty messages, the only means of retaining a more permanent record of system activity is to either install a dedicated printer for the RPSD Lock or to save all messages from the Lock to disc.

With regard to RPSD Key devices, the AT&T entities which require access to the PBX already have the Keys that they need. Any additional RPSD Keys for customer use must be ordered separately.

Each of the hardware components (both supplied and otherwise) and their requirements are described in the following sections.

RPSD Lock

The RPSD Lock is 5.75 inches wide by 9.5 inches long by 1.75 inches high. The RPSD Lock has seven LEDs on the front panel and four ports on the back panel. For a detailed description of the front panel LEDs, see Appendix B, Front Panel LEDs. The back panel ports are:

an RJ11 port for the CO line, labeled Telco

an RJ11 port for the modem connection, labeled Subscriber

a female DB25 port for the terminal or printer (or a modem), labeled Aux. Port

a port for the power supply (supplied with the RPSD Lock).

Use a modular telephone plug to connect the CO line to the Telco port on the RPSD Lock, and to connect the subscriber port on the RPSD Lock to the modem. Use only the tip and ring leads.

Install the RPSD Lock between the CO line that is reserved as the remote maintenance and administration channel and the PBX modem. If one is not already present, install an RJ11 port on the CO line to facilitate installation of the RPSD Lock device and also to make subsequent service easier. Be certain to label all connections to make subsequent service easier.
