Operator Interfaces
1-14
Installation of software into an FRM, generally done before the node ships to the cus-
tomer, requires a directly connected keyboard and monitor. Once the node has been
installed and configured, it can function with no operator interface. However, config-
uration, file copy (backup, restore, transfer, etc.), and monitoring operations require
a keyboard and screen, which can be in any of several forms.
The following items are shipped with each FRM:
Cable, DB9S to DB9S, for connecting the node's COM1 port directly to a PC
with software emulating an ASCII terminal.
Adapter, DB9P to DB25S, for connecting the node directly (via the above cable)
to an ASCII terminal.
Cable, DB9S to DB25P, for connecting an ASCII terminal via modem to the
COM1 port.
A keyboard and video device can also be connected via one of these methods:
ASCII terminal/keyboard (or PC with terminal emulation software) connected
to an async PAD port in the local FRM.
ASCII terminal/keyboard (or PC with terminal emulation software) connected
to an async PAD port in a remote FRX6000 or FRM, through a network, into an
X.25 port in the local node.
Keyboard and video device on a remote FRX6000 or FRM.
