Connecting A Terminal Or Pc To The Multiplexer; Connecting An Ascii Terminal - Paradyne COMSPHERE 6800 Series Multiplexer Management And Configuration Manual

Connecting a Terminal or PC to the Multiplexer

For the configuration process, you can use either an asynchronous ASCII terminal or a PC. If you
use a PC, a VT-100 terminal emulation program must be installed and running before you can
configure the multiplexer.
When the configuration procedures are completed, the terminal or PC may be disconnected from
the 719 NETWORKER. At that point, the PC may also be used as a basic-feature workstation on
the NMS.

Connecting an ASCII Terminal

Any ASCII terminal can be used to configure the 719 NETWORKER. Make sure the following
parameters are set on the terminal:
You need an EIA RS-232 (DB-25) cable to connect the terminal to the NETWORKER.
To connect the ASCII terminal to the 719 NETWORKER, perform the following steps:
1. Connect one end of the cable to the modem port on the terminal.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the lowest-numbered channel (other than 0) available
3. Turn on the terminal.
4. Turn on the 719 NETWORKER or
