Connect Terminal or PC to Craft Port

INTRODUCTION

This procedure provides step-by-step instructions to connect a VT100 terminal or PC to the
craft port. The MX2820 shelf management and provisioning is accomplished by a series of
menus that are accessible on a computer screen. Connecting either a VT100 terminal or a PC
emulating a VT100 terminal to the craft interface on the System Controller Unit (SCU) front
panel allows access to the menus and management features of the MX2820 system.

PREREQUISITE PROCEDURES

An MX2820 SCU must be installed in the MX2820 shelf, and the shelf must be powered for
terminal communication.

MATERIALS REQUIRED

• VT100 compatible terminal or computer with terminal emulation software
• Serial data cable to connect the terminal to the MX2820 shelf
To prevent electrical shock, do not install equipment in a wet loca-
tion or during a lightning storm.
Electronic modules can be damaged by static electrical discharge.
Before handling modules, wear an antistatic discharge wrist strap
to prevent damage to electronic components. Place modules in
antistatic packing material when transporting or storing. When
working on modules, always place them on an approved antistatic
mat that is electrically grounded.
