Lucent Technologies 555-230-220 manual Administrative Console Connectivity for MFB

ASAI-Ethernet

NOTE:

Lucent Technologies strongly recommends (both for security and performance reasons) that the Ethernet connectivity between the MFB and the set of hosts with which it will communicate be a separate LAN segment. Customers who do not follow this recommendation are subject to an unscrupulous person gaining access to the DEFINITY LAN Gateway application in order to commit toll fraud and/or tamper with the real-time aspects of CTI applications. (Toll fraud is the unauthorized use of your telecommunications system by an unauthorized third party. Under applicable law, the customer is responsible for paying for such unauthorized usage.)

The serial cables attached to the TN2208 can be used for local and remote administration as well as maintenance support.These are RS232 ports that allow connectivity to a dumb terminal or to terminal emulation software on a PC. The amphenol connector and the serial cable attached to the TN2170 are not currently used.

The first serial cable attached to the TN2208 (labeled A in Figure 13-2) should be connected to a 9600 baud (or better) modem that allows remote access by Lucent Technologies services. This is a similar arrangement to the INADS port provided on DEFINITY ECS. To enhance customer security, the modem should be turned off except when access by Lucent Technologies is desired. The second serial cable attached to the TN2208 (labeled B in Figure 13-2) can be used for local administration.

Administrative Console Connectivity for MFB

The MFB is provided with two serial ports (labeled A and B in Figure 13-2) that provide access to the administrative logins. The first port labeled “A” is dedicated for remote access by Lucent Technologies Services. The second port labeled “B” may be connected to a dedicated terminal, or to a shared terminal through an “A-B” ECS. Additionally, once the LAN network administration is completed, the administrative application may also be accessed by the use of “telnet” from a remote system.

For customers who do not wish to have an additional, physical, permanent console, it is recommended that the MFB be initially administered using a temporary terminal, PC, or laptop. Once the LAN administration is completed, telnet may be used from any host attached to the isolated segment (such as the DEFINITY LAN Gateway client). This allows further (and ongoing) administrative access without the need for a permanent console terminal. The overall connectivity scheme is depicted in Figure 13-5.
