Some of the prompts that are commonly used when running the
Configuration Record program LD 17 are shown in
Table 456 "LD 17 - Serial
port configuration parameters" (page 1113) These parameters must be
configured for each port that is being used.

Prompt Response Description
REQ: CHG Change configuration.
TYPE: CFN Configuration type.
IOTB YES Change input/output devices.
ADAN NEW TTY x
NEW PRT x
Define a new system terminal (printer) port as device x, where x
= 0 to 15.

depend on the software being used. See Software Input/Output
Reference — Administration (NN43001-611) for details.
XSM NO YES Port is used for the system monitor.
Applications
The QPD841 Quad Serial Data Interface (QSDI) card is used to connect the
switch to a variety of communication devices and peripherals. Any RS-232-C
compatible device can be connected to any of the four serial ports.
The standard application for the QSDI card is to connect the switch to the
system console. This can be either a direct connection if the console is
located near the switch, or through a modem for remote maintenance.
Bell 103/212 compatible dumb modems are recommended to connect a
remote data terminal. If a smart modem (such as a Hayes modem) is used,
select the dumb mode of operation (Command Recognition OFF, Command
Echo OFF) before connecting the modem to the asynchronous port.
Serial data interface connector J1 is a standard RS-232-C DB-25 connector
that connects port 1 of the QSDI card to outside peripherals. Connector J2
is non-standard in that it contains the connections for the three remaining
serial ports (ports 2, 3, and 4), on a single DB-25 connector. An adapter
cable must be used to connect to standard RS-232-C peripherals. Cables
that are applicable to the QSDI card are:
• SDI male-to-female flat cables (internal module use only)
