Installation Of Controller Card; Connecting Input Devices To The Controller Card - ADTRAN Smart 16e Shelf User Manual

Installation of Controller Card

4. INSTALLATION OF CONTROLLER CARD
The Smart 16e Shelf has 17 vertical slots in the front and rear of the chassis. The left-most front position is
reserved for the Smart 16e Shelf controller card. All other front slots can be used in any order for
rackmount cards. The PWR/CTRL power interface card occupies the slot behind the Smart 16e Shelf
controller card. All other rear slots are for DTE/network interface cards.
The controller card slides into the corresponding front slot until contact is made with both the backplane
connector and the rear power interface connector and the panel is flush with the front of the chassis. The
controller card may be inserted and removed while the Smart 16e Shelf is receiving power without
affecting the data service on the other cards.
The controller card can appear to be operational (i.e., receiving power) and yet not be
completely connected. The power interface card must be fully seated and the screws must
be tight for proper operation.

Connecting Input Devices to the Controller Card

There are five choices of input devices for the Smart 16e controller card: a VT100 terminal, the optional
DATAMATE (part number 1200045L1), SLIP, async PPP, and Ethernet
DATAMATE Connection
The optional DATAMATE is a hand-held device that plugs into the RJ-11 jack on the front of the controller
card.
Ethernet Connection
The 10/100BaseT Ethernet connector (labeled
provides a LAN interface used for both local and remote configuration using SNMP and Telnet.
VT100, Modem, SLIP, or Async PPP Connection
The DB-9 EIA-232 connector (labeled
card provides an interface for an asynchronous ASCII VT100 terminal, used for both local and remote
configuration. The terminal must be set to line wrap off, flow control off, 8-bit character size, no parity,
one stop bit, and VT100 mode.
The Smart 16e Shelf and any rackmount units in the shelf can be configured remotely using a modem
connected to the EIA-232 connector. See Chapter 3, Operation, on page 31 for more detailed information
on remote operation.
This connector also provides an interface for SLIP or async PPP. This interface is used for both local and
remote configuration using SNMP and Telnet.
The pin assignments for the EIA-232 connector are listed in Appendix A, Pinouts, on page 51.
