Making Diagnostic Connections
The diagnostic connections enable the NV7512 to communicate with the UniConfig application.
UniConfig is installed on hardware (e.g., a PC), separate from the router, and is used to perform
system setup tasks, and configure and monitor the router. (See
Configuration on page 85.) For
information about using UniConfig, see the UniConfig User’s Guide.
There are two types of diagnostic connections: temporary and permanent. A temporary diagnostic
serial connection is located on the front of each control card. Permanent diagnostic serial connec-
tions are located on the rear of the router, labeled ‘DIAG’. For a detailed description of the diagnos-
tic connections, see
Diagnostic Connections on page 17.
Temporarily Connecting to UniConfig
A temporary connection is created through the DE9 port located on the front of the primary control
card. (See
Control Cards on page 20.) The settings for this connection are RS-232, DTE, 9600
baud, 8 data bits, no parity.
How to make a temporary diagnostic connection
1 Locate the primary control card slot, as shown in Figure 2-26. When facing the front of the
router, the control cards are located in the upper, right-hand section.
