Workstations

This chapter provides information and instructions on installing the
supported peripheral devices for NAC 2.
Workstations are used by the network supervisors to control the operation
of the NAC system.
Workstations available for the NAC system can be separated into two
categories: personal computers (PCs) and video display terminals (VDTs).
Table 4-1 lists each type of workstation and the gender of its serial port.
Note: The maintenance console controls the installation and upgrade
procedures, as well as the maintenance and administration programs.
This console supports DEC VT420, VT220, HP 700/32 or 100%
compatible display terminals. If your workstation is being used as a
system console, a female to female gender changer, A0351509, is
required.
