Equipment Necessary for Installation

■Tools

Use Phillips screwdrivers.

■MAT

MAT is a terminal for setting the configuration data of the ATM Switch and performing routine management of the equipment. Some of the terminals that may be used as a MAT are a personal computer (PC), workstation (WS), or dumb terminal with an RS-232C port and communications capability. The MAT and the ATM Switch are connected via an RS-232C cross cable.

■Electrostatic kit and clean gloves

Static electricity may cause the ATM Switch to fail. Be sure to use the electrostatic kit and clean gloves.

■RS-232C cross cable

This cable is used to interconnect the ATM Switch to a PC or workstation that supports serial communication software and can act as a VT100 terminal or a MAT. The null-modem cable has a D-SUB 9-pin male connector connected to the 8550 and the other end varies from a D-SUB 9-pin female connector (for connection to a PC) or a 25-pin male connector (for connection to a workstation). Connector gender changers may be used to acquire the correct connector type.

■Communications software

When using a PC or WS as the MAT, install the proper communications software for the model and establish an interface that facilitates automatic controls.

NOTE	No communications software is required when the PC or WS is used in terminal
	mode. The installation of a communications software is recommended, however,
	to facilitate operations.
