Connecting to Strata DK

A

 

 

This appendix shows how to connect a DKAdmin/DKBackup PC to the Strata DK.

Hardware Requirements

The DKAdmin/DKBackup PC is required to edit or change a Strata DK customer database file with or without being connected to a Strata DK telephone system. A PC equipped with DKAdmin/DKBackup enables you to upload, download, upgrade and/or edit complete Strata DK databases.

Note DKBackup does not provide the edit function.

The hardware requirements described below are necessary to exchange (send/receive) data between the DKAdmin/DKBackup PC and a Strata DK telephone system. Exchanging data enables the PC to pull customer configuration data from an operating Strata DK and save this data, and then send the data to the Strata DK (see Figures 16 to 22 for possible connecting configurations).

The DKAdmin/DKBackup PC must be equipped with an available COM port to enable the PC to connect and exchange (send/receive) data with a Strata DK.

The Strata DK must be equipped with an RSSU, PIOUS, PIOU, or RSIU/RSIS PCB for local and/or remote Administration.

When DKAdmin/DKBackup must interface with a Strata DK remotely (more than 50 feet apart):

The Strata DK PIOU, PIOUS, or RSIU must be equipped with an IMDU or RMDS built-in modem; or, the Strata DK RSSU, PIOUS, PIOU, RSIU/RSIS TTY port must be connected to an external modem or PDIU-DS data interface unit.

The DKAdmin/DKBackup PC COM port must be connected to a modem or PDIU-DI data interface unit or have a built-in modem.

System Connection Configurations

Figures 16 to 22 show possible ways to connect the DKAdmin/DKBackup PC to the Strata DK. They provide installation guidelines and instructions for setting up and using the DKAdmin/DKBackup built-in auto dialer to call Strata DKs remotely or locally. These figures include the following configurations:
