The NT8D41BA Quad Serial Data Interface paddle board is used to connect the switch to a
variety of communication devices, printers, and peripherals. Any RS-232-C compatible device
can be connected to either of the card's two serial ports.
The standard application for the paddle board is to connect the switch to the system console.
This can be either a direct connection if the console is located near the switch, or through a
modem for remote maintenance.
Bell 103/212 compatible dumb modems are recommended to connect a remote data terminal.
If a smart modem (such as a Hayes modem) is used, configure the modem for the dumb mode
of operation (Command Recognition OFF, Command Echo OFF) before connecting the
modem to the asynchronous port.
The serial data interface connectors on the paddle board are not RS-232-C standard DB-25
connectors. The NT8D84AA interface cable is used to adapt the paddle board to a non-
standard pinout DB-9 connector (normally located on the I/O panel). The NT8D93 cable is then
used to connect the non-standard DB-9 connector to a peripheral that uses a RS-232-C
standard DB-25 connector. See
page 472.
The NT8D41BA Quad Serial Data Interface (QSDI) paddle board provides four RS-232-C
serial ports. These ports allow communication between the Meridian 1 system and four external
devices, either DTE or DCE. The QSDI paddle board is normally used to connect the Meridian
1 system to the system administration and maintenance terminal. It can also be used to connect
the system to a background terminal (used in the hotel/motel environment), a modem, or to
the Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) or Call Detail Recording (CDR) features.
