Setting Up Sta - Meridian Link/Customer Controlled Routing Installation And Upgrade Manual

Setting up STA

1 Access LD 22 to verify that your system is equipped with the
following software:
¥ MSDL (222)
¥ MSDL SDI (227)
¥ STA (228)
2 Set up a VT220 or compatible terminal for STA. The setup
parameters vary according to terminal type. For more information,
refer to Chapter 10, ÒInstalling peripheral devices.Ó
Note: It is important that the [ESC] key is set up correctly (Ô~Key) or
you will not be able to toggle from one system to another.
3 Access LD 48 and type STAT MSDL to check if there is an MSDL
card available in your system.
4 Type STAT MSDL x to check the port assignments of port x on the
MSDL cards (where x is a port number). Determine whether you will
use an existing MSDL or whether a new one must be installed.
5 Connect an NTND27AB cable from port 0 on the MSDL card to the
shield connector on the Meridian 1 I/O panel.
6 Connect a 25-pin straight cable from the other side of the shield
connector (on the I/O panel) to the STA terminal.
7 Connect an NTND27AB cable from another port on the same MSDL
card to the shield connector on the Meridian 1 I/O panel.
If you are using an IPE Module, connect a null modem adapter
between the other side of the shield connector to either an
NT1R03DB or an NT7D58 cable. This cable runs to port 1 on the
IPE Module. Refer to Figure 298.
If you are using an Application Module, connect a null modem
adapter between the other side of the shield connector to an
NT7D61 cable. This cable runs to the Application ModuleÕs I/O panel
(J7 on the I/O subpanel or SYS CONS on the universal or generic
I/O panel). Refer to Figure 299.
Note: Steps 8Ð15 are performed on the Meridian 1 terminal. Ensure
that the ÒCaps LockÓ is set to the on position.
