AT&T Remote Port Security Device user manual Connecting the RPSD Key to the Terminal

Connecting the RPSD Key to the Terminal

The RPSD Key is connected to the terminal via the Aux. Port on the back of the RPSD Key device and the terminal’s RS-232 port. Obtain or make up a cable with the RS-232 wire,

the RS-232 connector on one end, and the DB25 connector (male) on the other end. Connect the DB25 connector to the Aux. Port on the RPSD Key and connect the RS-232 connector to the RS-232 port on the back of the terminal.

See Table 2-1for the pinout for the Aux. Port connection. The Aux. Port for the RPSD Key is connected in the same manner as the Aux .Port for the RPSD Lock. Figure 2-7also applies equally to the Key as well as to the Lock.

The RPSD Key must be ordered by the customer separately from the RPSD Lock. In addition, all cabling and connectors must be ordered separately and are not supplied with the Key. Only the power pack comes with the Key.

Connecting the RPSD Key to the Modem

The RPSD Key is connected to the modem via the RJ11 port on the back of the Key device. Obtain or make up a cable using the 6 position wire and the two modular connectors. Plug one modular connector into the port on the back of the Key and the other into the appropriate port on the back of the modem.

Figure 2-6applies equally to the RPSD Key as it does to the RPSD Lock.

Powering Up the RPSD Key

The RPSD Key may be in one of two conditions upon power-up: initialized or uninitialized. The response of the Key upon power-up is different depending on which condition it is in. Both conditions are described below.

To power the RPSD Key, you need:

■the RPSD Key Power Supply

■an AC wall outlet

Plug one end of the power supply into the appropriate port on the back of the RPSD Key and the other end into an AC wall outlet.

Power-Up Behavior of Initialized Key

With an initialized Key, the red Power LED on the front panel of the RPSD Key will go on and remain on permanently while the other LEDs on the front panel of the RPSD Key should blink three times and then settle into an Idle condition. If there is any failure of the LEDs (for example, they do not blink three times or the power light does not come on), the Key is defective and must be replaced.
