Connecting a local operator terminal to a Multiservice Switch 7400

Connect a local operator terminal to a Nortel Multiservice Switch 7400 to
manage the node locally. During initial commissioning, use this terminal to set
up a connection to your network management system.
Prerequisites
• 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
Multiservice Switch 7400 Hardware Description. See

• 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.

Action
Route the V.24 terminal cable from your terminal to the device with enough
length to reach the local operator port.
If you plan to keep the cable permanently attached, you can run the cable
through the cable management assembly.
Label the cable for future reference.
Connect the terminal cable to the control processor V.24 DCE port (port 1).
See , "Local operator port on the CP faceplate," (page 148).
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 Multiservice Switch 7400/15000/20000 Software
Installation. StartUp software enables you to connect your device to the rest
of your network.
If you do not plan to use a network management system, you can use your
local operator terminal to provision the device.
