4. USING THE MODULE
You can configure and control the Total Access 850
DSX-1 Module from a variety of sources, including the
following:
• The terminal menus, allowing detailed configura-
tion, status, and diagnostics via the DB-9 craft port
on the front of the card, the RJ-45 craft port on the
rear of the chassis, or telnet.
The Terminal Menus
The terminal menus are available by using either a
VT-100 terminal attached to the Total Access 850 active
RCU’s craft port, the chassis’ ADMIN port, or a Telnet
session established through the RCU’s Ethernet port.
The Total Access 850 System Manual provides detailed
instructions on using any of these management ap-
proaches.
