Procedure steps
Multiservice Switch 7400 Hardware Installation, Maintenance, and Upgrade 6.1S2
Connect a local operator terminal to a Nortel Networks Multiservice
Switch 7400 to manage the node locally. During initial commissioning, use
this terminal to set up a connection to your network management system.
• The local operator terminal should be a VT100 or a device that emulates
a VT100 terminal.
• Ensure that the local operator terminal settings match the settings for the
V.24 DCE port (port 1) on the faceplate of the control processor:
9600 bit/s, 1 stop bit, no parity.
• Ensure that the 9-pin "D" type interface cable is a shielded cable and
complies with the specifications contained in NN10600-170 Nortel
Networks Multiservice Switch 7400 Hardware Description. See "Making
a braided shield" (page 379).
• If you want to print any alarms that appear on-screen, connect the local
terminal to a printer before you connect the terminal to the Multiservice
Switch 7400.
1 Route the V.24 terminal cable from your terminal to the device with
enough length to reach the local operator port.
2 If you plan to keep the cable permanently attached, you can run the cable
through the cable management assembly.
3 Label the cable for future reference.
4 Connect the terminal cable to the control processor V.24 DCE port
(port 1). See Figure 64, "Local operator port on the CP faceplate,"
(page 223).
5 Secure the cable connector to the local operator port by tightening the
screws. Use a 6 mm (1/4 in.) slot screwdriver to do this.
You can now provision the device. If you plan to connect to a network
management system, you need to access StartUp software. See
NN10600-270 Nortel Networks Multiservice Switch 7400/15000/20000
Software Installation. StartUp software enables you to connect your
device to the rest of your network.
