Cabling Procedures

Cabling the	There is a DB9 connector on the front of the MPC750 CPU card for connecting an
Operator Console	operator console to the Vanguard 7300. An operator console can be an asynchronous
	VT100 terminal (or a PC with asynchronous VT100 terminal emulation capability.)
	The operator console is needed initially for configuring software and running
	diagnostic programs. See Figure 3-22for the location of the DB9 CTP port.

Use these steps to cable the operator console:

1)Attach an EIA232 crossover cable with a DB9 plug connector to the DB9 CTP port, COM 1, on the CPU card.

2)Connect the other end to the operator console VT100 terminal or PC.

Note

The DB9 CTP port appears as a DTE device and has the same pinout as the standard PC COMM port. For cable and port pinouts, refer to Appendix B, Vanguard 7300 Cable Connectors and Pinouts.
