Meridian America Link/Customer Controlled Routing manual Consoles/printers

Chapter 3: Overview of Customer Controlled Routing 33

An NT1R03D cable connects the customer-supplied console to the IPE Module. An NT7D61 External I/O cable or a customer-supplied 9-pin-to- 25-pin cable connects the customer-supplied console to the Application Module. Refer to Chapter 9, ÒMeridian Link/CCR interface cablingÓ for more information.

If you configure the optional conshare capability available to the IPE Module or Application Module, you can access the Meridian 1 input/output programs from the CCR console.

CCR administration and maintenance

CCR provides an interface for a system console user and as many as eight other terminal users at one time. All users have access to basic OA&M commands and to the CCR application itself. But only one user can create, edit, install, associate, and access CCR data at a time.

CCR employs a full-screen, menu-driven interface that allows you to

¥set up and maintain profiles for CCR application users

¥create, modify, and verify scripts

¥set up and maintain a list of variables that are used within scripts to make script maintenance easier

¥set up and maintain associations between scripts and the CDNs defined on Meridian 1

Consoles/printers

In addition to the system console, CCR can support as many as eight terminals or printers. The additional terminals allow as many as eight application users to have access to the CCR user interface at the same time, although only one user can change CCR data at a time.

Note: The IPE Module can support only a maximum of three terminals or printers; only two if CCR is co-resident with Meridian Link. However, you can increase the number of terminals by adding LAN-based PCs.
