2.9.6 Receive-Only Printer (ROP)

The ROP provides the local office personnel with a means for obtaining a hardcopy
printout of system messages. This printout provides a permanent copy of messages for
future reference. Since the message may not always be displayed on the MCC video
display, the printout may be the only copy of the message available to the
maintenance personnel.
Every message the system generates is not necessarily printed at the ROP. Some
messages are logged, while some are only printed at the originating terminal in
response to an input message. Because of the large number of output messages that
may be generated by the system, controls are available to the maintenance personnel
to limit the volume of messages printed. For further information on 5ESS switch
output messages, see 235-600-750, Output Messages Manual.
The ROP is connected to the following AW ports:
•
Parallel port on the rear of a Netra t 1120 and Netra 20
•
SAI-1 serial port 7 on a Netra 240
Figures 2-41, 2-42 and 2-43 illustrate the optional interface connection between the
ROP and the AW.
