System Terminal Access For Gateway Controllers - Nortel Communication Server 1000E Maintenance Manual

With the CS 1000E, a system terminal can also connect directly to the Call
Server, Signaling Server, Media Cards, and Media Gateway 1000T (MG
1000T).
When a system terminal is installed directly on the CP PIV Call Processor,
it connects to the com 1 port.
When a system terminal connection is made to a CP PM Call Processor,
the com (SDI) port is routed through the backplane of the shelf to the 50
pin MDF connector. The NTAK19EC cable ships with the CP PM that
adapts the 50 pin MDF to a 25 pin DB connector for connectivity. A 25
pin null modem cable is required to adapt the SDI port to a typical PC
serial port. Port0 is used for maintenance access. Port1 is for an external
modem connection.
When a system terminal is installed on the Signaling Server, the rear serial
port is the primary port for maintenance and administration.

System terminal access for Gateway Controllers

Each Gateway Controller installed in a CS 1000E has 3 serial ports: SDI0,
SDI1, and SDI2. SDI2 is not available during system initialization and
therefore cannot be used to access installation menus.
The Gateway Controller serial ports can be used for local debug
purposes or configured as system terminals in LD 17. Unlike the Small
System Controller (SSC) SDI ports, all Gateway Controller SDI ports are
configured through software. The Gateway Controller does not have DIP
switches. Furthermore, the remote SDI feature of the Gateway Controller
eliminates the need for a terminal server or TTY on a system with Gateway
Controllers.
See Communication Server 1000E Installation and Commissioning for
more detail about configuring Gateway Controller serial ports.
MG 1000E 10BaseT port
The MG 1000E 10BaseT Ethernet port defaults to the disabled state. To
use the 10BaseT Ethernet port, assign the port a unique IP address, and
enable the port from the Call Server. The MG 1000E 10BaseT Ethernet
port can run in Normal or Survival mode. In Normal mode, the MG 1000E
does not provide access to maintenance or alarm management.
MG 1000E card slot assignment
The MG 1000E contains physical card slots numbered 1 to 10. When
configuring the CS 1000 system, the physical card slot numbers must be
transposed to loop, shelf, card.
