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.

2.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

7984 Standalone Termination Unit through the modular jack on the rear panel. The system maintenance terminal allows you to view the status of the unit, and change configuration options. The terminal must be a VT100-compatible terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software.

"Procedure

To connect your unit to a system terminal:

1.Connect the 9-pin end of the terminal cable into a COM port on your PC.

2.Plug the other end into the modular jack on the rear panel.

ÐIf your PC requires a 25-pin connector to the COM port, see Appendix C, Cables and Pin Assignments, for the correct cable pinouts.

3.Set the communication parameters on your PC or terminal to:

Ð9600 baud

Ð8 bit characters

Ðno parity

Ð1 stop bit

Ðno flow control
