System Configuration and Operation

3.1Basic Operations

This chapter provides instructions for configuring the IMACS-200 for operation after installing it at the equipment site.

Before performing the procedures in this chapter:

1.Be sure your IMACS-200 is installed and powered up.

2.Determine your system’s specific configuration requirements. These depend on your network and customer premises equipment (CPE) interfaces. If this configuration information already exists, obtain it from your system administrator or engineers.

3.Obtain a terminal with VT-100 or VT-102 emulation and an RS-232 to RJ45 serial cable for these procedures. The terminal will be connected directly to the SERIAL port on the front faceplate of your system. This will allow you to access the system and then configure it for operation with your network and CPE.

Refer the Table 2-10 on page 2-11for pinouts for RS-232 and SERIAL port.

3.2Basic Screen Map and Legend

To make system access, configuration and testing easy, the system presents you with a series of user interface screens. Each screen displays various fields of information, and you can change the data in those fields as required by your system and external interfaces.

3.3System Power-up

The IMACS-200 system will initialize when it is powered up. The normal sequence for initialization and login are described on the following pages.
