Connecting to a System Terminal

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.
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.
— If your PC requires a 25-pin connector to the COM port, see Appendix C,
Cables and Pin Assignments
3. Set the communication parameters on your PC or terminal to:
— 9600 baud
— 8 bit characters
— no parity
— 1 stop bit
