Steps for installing peripheral devices
The cabling described here is for peripherals connected to the 4- and 5-port
RS-232 fanout cables from the rear I/O panels. Alternative cabling, using a BIX
block at the MDF, is described later in this chapter.
If you are using the Meridian Mail Reporter (MMR) package, refer to the
Meridian Mail Reporter User Guide for installation instructions for MMR.
Data port usage
The recommended data port usage is shown in " ICL recommended data port
use" on page 8-4.
Note: A port should have been configured at software installation time for each
MAT, GAC, and networking modem. If this was not done, you will need to
reconfigure ports after the system is rebooted. See the "Modify hardware"
section in System Administration Tools (NTP 555–7001–305).
