Considerations

You can connect only one CAT to the system. You must use a serial printer such as the CAT printer. You must locate the CAT Plus within the distances noted below:

■Control unit

—14 ft. (4.27 m) direct connection

—1000 ft. (305 m) using building wiring

■Serial printer, 50 ft. (15.2 m)

■Power supply-grounded wall outlet, 4 ft. (1.22 m)

Hardware Requirements

The following hardware is required for CAT installation:

■Call Accounting Terminal, CAT Plus

■Serial printer (Lucent Technologies CAT Printer is recommended) connected by a Z200A EMI cable to the PRINTER jack of the CAT

■D8W cord and 355AF adapter connecting the SMDR port on the communications system to the SMDR jack of the CAT

A summary of the installation procedure is provided below:

! Before connecting the CAT, set the 10 CAT switches to establish the speed or baud rate for the CAT and its associated printer.

! Connect the control unit, CAT, printer, and power supply. See Chapter 5, “Connecting a Printer to the Control Unit.” Do not use an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch.

! Test the CAT Plus, following the instructions provided in the documentation packaged with the application.
