Tools and
Equipment
Necessary for
Installation
■ Tools
Use Phillips screwdrivers.
■ MAT
MAT is a terminal for setting the configuration data of the ATM Switch and
performing routine management of the equipment. Some of the terminals that
may be used as a MAT are a personal computer (PC), workstation (WS), or
dumb terminal with an RS-232C port and communications capability. The
MAT and the ATM Switch are connected via an RS-232C cross cable.
■ Electrostatic kit and clean gloves
Static electricity may cause the ATM Switch to fail. Be sure to use the
electrostatic kit and clean gloves.
■ RS-232C cross cable
This cable is used to interconnect the ATM Switch to a PC or workstation that
supports serial communication software and can act as a VT100 terminal or a
MAT. The null-modem cable has a D-SUB 9-pin male connector connected to
the 8550 and the other end varies from a D-SUB 9-pin female connector (for
connection to a PC) or a 25-pin male connector (for connection to a
workstation). Connector gender changers may be used to acquire the correct
connector type.
■ Communications software
When using a PC or WS as the MAT, install the proper communications
software for the model and establish an interface that facilitates automatic
controls.
No communications software is required when the PC or WS is used in terminal
mode. The installation of a communications software is recommended, however,
to facilitate operations.
