Initial Startup and Configuration

Connecting to the Network

"Procedure

To connect your unit to the network:

1.Connect one end of the network cable into the rear panel DSL jack. Connect the other end to your DSL network interface.

NOTE:

Do not use a flat VF network cable as this may severely degrade the performance of the termination unit. Use only Cat 5 twisted-pair network cable.

Connecting to a System Terminal

An optional system maintenance terminal may be attached to your Hotwire 7975 Standalone Termination Unit through the modular jack on the rear panel. You may have terminals attached to both endpoints. The system terminal must be a VT100-compatible terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software.

The system maintenance terminal allows you to view the status of the unit, and change configuration options.

Connect the 9-pin end of the terminal cable into a COM port on your PC. Plug the other end into the modular jack on the rear panel. If your PC requires a 25-pinconnector to the COM port, see Appendix C, Cables and Pin Assignments, for the correct cable pinouts.

Make sure the communication parameters on your PC or terminal are set to:

H9600 baud

H8 bit characters

Hno parity

H1 stop bit

Hno flow control

Press Enter from your terminal or PC to activate the Main Menu for the attached unit. The system runs diagnostics and status checks. After a few moments, the Main Menu or Logon screen appears on your terminal.
