Connecting to a System Terminal

7984-A2-GZ40-00
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.
The DSX-1 interface of the Hotwire 7984 Standalone Termination Unit is an
RJ48C, 8-position, unkeyed modular connector. An RJ48C-to-DB15 T1 network
interface adapter cable is available from Paradyne. See Cables and Pin
Assignments in the User's Guide for specifications of the connector and the
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.
3. Set the communication parameters on your PC or terminal to:
— 9600 baud
— 8 bit characters
— no parity
— 1 stop bit
— no flow control
Press Enter from your terminal or PC to activate the Main Menu for the attached
unit. The system runs diagnostics and status checks. After a few moments, the
Main Menu or Logon screen appears on your terminal.
