Planning: Task 5 — Evaluating the Terminal
Requirements (Optional)
Planning: Task 5 — Evaluating the
Terminal Requirements (Optional)
This section contains several installation scenarios that address different site
requirements:
Installing a terminal that uses a Direct Connection
— AC powered switch
— DC powered switch
Installing a Terminal that uses a Modem
NOTE:
Installing the terminal is an optional task, but the temporary installation
described below is recommended to facilitate initial administration of the
MAPD system.

Temporary vs. Permanent Terminal Installations

You can install a terminal or a terminal emulator device, such as a PC or laptop, to
perform administration and maintenance operations. The terminal may be
permanently installed, or may be temporarily installed when direct administration
or maintenance is desired. The connection for a directly attached terminal is
always available for Avaya services personnel. This terminal is usually connected
via a direct cable to Admin/Port B, but can be connected remotely if desired.
NOTE:
Once initial administration is completed, the directly connected terminal may
be disconnected and further administration and maintenance may be
accomplished over the LAN with a terminal emulator that supports Telnet
access.

Direct Connections vs. Modem Connections

The terminal can be connected to Admin/Port B by either a direct connection or by
using modems.
If you are connecting a PC using G3-MA software (formerly SAT-PC) as a
MAPD administration/maintenance terminal, see DEFINITY
Communications System Generic 3 Management Applications Station
Provisioning, 555-229-202, for installation instructions.
If you are connecting a generic PC with a terminal emulation package, you
must ensure that the terminal emulation package is set to support a
terminal type listed in Appendix B,
