Applications 809
Some of the prompts that are commonly used when running the
Configuration Record program LD 17, are shown in
"LD 17 - Serial port
configuration parameters." (page 809) . These parameters must be set for
each port if both ports are being used.

Define a new system terminal (printer) port as device x, where x
= 0 to 15.
CDNO 1–16 Use the SDI paddle board number to keep track of all ports.
DENS DDEN Double density SDI paddle board
USER xxx Enter the user of port x. The values that can be entered depend on
the software being used. See the Software Input/Output Reference
— Administration (NN43001-611) for details.
XSM (NO) YES Port is used for the system monitor.
Applications
The NT8D41AA Serial Data Interface paddle board is used to connect the
switch to a variety of communication devices, printers, and peripherals.
Any RS-232-C compatible device can be connected to either of the card’s
two serial ports.
The standard application for the paddle board 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, configure the modem for the dumb mode of operation (Command
Recognition OFF, Command Echo OFF) before connecting the modem
to the asynchronous port.
The serial data interface connectors on the paddle board are not RS-232-C
standard DB-25 connectors. The NT8D84AA interface cable is used to
adapt the paddle board to a non-standard pinout DB-9 connector (normally
located on the I/O panel). The NT8D93 cable is then used to connect
the non-standard DB-9 connector to a peripheral that uses a RS-232-C
standard DB-25 connector. See
Figure 265 "SDI paddle board cabling"
(page 810) . The NT8D41AA Serial Data Interface (SDI) paddle board
provides two RS-232-C serial ports. These ports allow communication
