Installation

TN2170 RS-232 Connection

This connection is used for customer access to the DEFINITY LAN Gateway
application. See Task 7 for wiring information.

Task 7: Install the Terminal (Optional)

This task is optional, but the temporary installation described below is
recommended to facilitate initial administration of the DEFINITY LAN Gateway
application.

You can install a terminal or a terminal emulator device, such as a PC or laptop,
to perform administration and maintenance operations. The terminal may be
permanently installed, or may be temporarily installed when direct administration
or maintenance is desired. The connection for a directly attached terminal is
always available for AT&T services personnel. This terminal is usually
connected via a direct cable to Admin/Port B, but can be connected remotely if
desired.

NOTE:

Once initial administration is completed, the directly connected terminal
may be disconnected and further administration and maintenance may be
accomplished over the LAN with a terminal emulator that supports Telnet
access.

The terminal can be connected to Admin/Port B in one of four ways:

Via a direct connection

Via modems

Via Asynchronous Data Units (ADUs)

Via 7400A data sets

The connectivity for all supported terminals is similar. Therefore, the subtasks for
this task are the same for all supported terminals. See Appendix B for a list of
supported terminals and modems.

If you are connecting a PC using G3-MA software (formerly SAT-PC) as an
DEFINITY LAN Gateway administration/maintenance terminal, see

DEFINITY

Communications System Generic 3 Management Applications Station
Provisioning, 555-229-202, for installation instructions.

If you are connecting a generic PC with a terminal emulation package, you must
ensure that the terminal emulation package is set to support a terminal type
listed in Appendix B.
