Connecting a CAT to the Control Unit
Connecting a CAT
to the Control Unit
The Call Accounting Terminal (CAT) is a stand-alone unit that provides call
accounting information. It connects to the SMDR jack on the control unit and
links the control unit to the CAT printer. The connection of the CAT to the
control unit depends on the distance and whether the CAT and control unit
share the same AC outlet.
The CAT and CAT printer are connected at the same time. For more
information, see "Call Accounting Terminal" in Chapter 8.
If the CAT is grounded to the same AC outlet as the control unit and
the CAT and CAT printer are within 14 ft. (4.27 m) and 50 ft. (15.2 m),
respectively, of the control unit, refer to "Connecting a CAT and Printer
on the Same AC Outlet."
If the CAT is either not grounded to the same AC outlet as the control
unit or is more than 14 ft. (4.27 m) from the control unit, refer to
"Connecting a CAT and Printer on a Different AC Outlet."
!
CAUTION:
To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD), avoid touching
leads, connectors, pins, and other components. Wear a properly
grounded wrist strap.
