Choosing a Configuration Mode

Connecting to a System Terminal

7914-A2-GB20-00
You can make configuration changes either through the system terminal menus
(Terminal Mode) or by manually changing switches on the board (Switchpack
Mode). Terminal Mode is the default setting.
In Terminal Mode:
You change configuration parameters by selecting menu options that appear
on a VT100-compatible terminal attached to the front panel of the termination
unit.
The standalone unit is configured at the factory for CP (customer premises)
operation.
In Switchpack Mode:
You change configuration parameters by moving switches on the board.
You can still display information about the unit from the terminal and run
loopback tests.
Any changes you made in Terminal Mode are lost when you change to
Switchpack Mode.
An optional system maintenance terminal can be attached to your Model 7914
Termination Unit through the modular jack on the front panel. You can have
terminals attached to both endpoints (CO and CP).
The system terminal must be a VT100-compatible terminal or a PC running
terminal emulation software.
Connect the 9-pin end of the terminal cable into a COM port on your PC. Plug the
other end into the modular jack on the front panel. If your PC requires a 25-pin
connector to the COM port, see Appendix B,
correct cable pinouts.
