Installing and Connecting the Hardware

Connecting to a Terminal or Laptop Computer

"Procedure

To connect the HotWire 8600 DSLAM chassis to a terminal or laptop computer:

1.Connect an 8-pin modular plug-ended serial cable into the MANAGEMENT SERIAL port of the HotWire 8600.

2.Dress the serial cable under the 8600 chassis, to the left and behind the left support foot.

3.Plug the other end of the cable into your terminal's (or computer's) serial port using a DB25 (RS-232 male) adapter, supplied with the MCC card. Use a (female) DB9 to (male) DB25 adapter if necessary.

Refer to Appendix B, Pinouts, for pin assignments.

4.Configure your terminal or terminal emulator with the following settings:

ÐBaud Rate = 9600

ÐData Bits = 8

ÐParity = No Parity

ÐStop Bits = 1

ÐFlow Control = XON/XOFF

ÐTerminal Type = VT100
