Meridian America Link/Customer Controlled Routing manual Setting up STA

Chapter 19: Single Terminal Access 537

Setting up STA

1Access LD 22 to verify that your system is equipped with the following software:

¥MSDL (222)

¥MSDL SDI (227)

¥STA (228)

2Set up a VT220 or compatible terminal for STA. The setup parameters vary according to terminal type. For more information, refer to Chapter 10, ÒInstalling peripheral devices.Ó

Note: It is important that the [ESC] key is set up correctly (Ô~Key) or you will not be able to toggle from one system to another.

3Access LD 48 and type STAT MSDL to check if there is an MSDL card available in your system.

4Type STAT MSDL x to check the port assignments of port x on the MSDL cards (where x is a port number). Determine whether you will use an existing MSDL or whether a new one must be installed.

5Connect an NTND27AB cable from port 0 on the MSDL card to the shield connector on the Meridian 1 I/O panel.

6Connect a 25-pin straight cable from the other side of the shield connector (on the I/O panel) to the STA terminal.

7Connect an NTND27AB cable from another port on the same MSDL card to the shield connector on the Meridian 1 I/O panel.

If you are using an IPE Module, connect a null modem adapter between the other side of the shield connector to either an NT1R03DB or an NT7D58 cable. This cable runs to port 1 on the IPE Module. Refer to Figure 298.

If you are using an Application Module, connect a null modem adapter between the other side of the shield connector to an NT7D61 cable. This cable runs to the Application ModuleÕs I/O panel (J7 on the I/O subpanel or SYS CONS on the universal or generic I/O panel). Refer to Figure 299.

Note: Steps 8Ð15 are performed on the Meridian 1 terminal. Ensure that the ÒCaps LockÓ is set to the on position.
