System Configuration and Operation
3.1 Basic Operations
This chapter provides instructions for configuring the IMACS-200 for operation after
installing it at the equipment site.
Before performing the procedures in this chapter:
1. Be sure your IMACS-200 is installed and powered up.
2. Determine your system’s specific configuration requirements. These depend on your
network and customer premises equipment (CPE) interfaces. If this configuration
information already exists, obtain it from your system administrator or engineers.
3. Obtain a terminal with VT-100 or VT-102 emulation and an RS-232 to RJ45 serial cable
for these procedures. The terminal will be connected directly to the SERIAL port on the
front faceplate of your system. This will allow you to access the system and then configure
it for operation with your network and CPE.
Refer the Table 2-10 on page 2-11 for pinouts for RS-232 and SERIAL port.
3.2 Basic Screen Map and Legend
To make system access, configuration and testing easy, the system presents you with a series
of user interface screens. Each screen displays various fields of information, and you can
change the data in those fields as required by your system and external interfaces.
3.3 System Power-up
The IMACS-200 system will initialize when it is powered up. The normal sequence for
initialization and login are described on the following pages.
