You can make configuration changes either through the system terminal menus
(Terminal Mode) or by manually changing switches and jumpers on the board
(Switchpack Mode). Terminal Mode is the default setting.
In Terminal Mode:
You change configuration parameters by selecting menu options that appear
on a VT100-compatible terminal attached to the front panel of the termination
unit.
The standalone unit is preconfigured at the factory for CP (customer
premises) operation.
In Switchpack Mode:
You change configuration parameters by moving switchpacks and jumpers on
the board.
The standalone unit is not preconfigured. You must ensure that the
switchpack is set for your desired configuration options.
You can still display information about the unit and run loopback tests from
the terminal.
Any changes you had made in Terminal Mode are lost when you change to
Switchpack Mode.
An optional system maintenance terminal may be attached to your Model 7915
standalone termination unit through the modular jack on the front panel. This
terminal is required if you want to use Terminal Mode (described above). You may
have terminals attached to both endpoints.
The system terminal must be a VT100-compatible terminal or emulation software
on a PC.
