CONTROL PORT OPERATION
The HTU-C provides a faceplate-mounted DB9 connector
that supplies an RS-232 interface for connection to a
controlling terminal. The pinout of the DB9 is illustrated
in Figure 6.
running on the personal computer. If using a portable
personal computer with terminal emulation capability,
communication between the computer and the HDSL
unit may be periodically disrupted if power saving
programs are being used on the personal computer.
The symptoms may include misplaced characters
appearing on the screen and/or the occurrence of screen
timeouts. These symptoms are not disruptive to the
operation of the circuit and are avoidable if the power
saving options are disabled or removed.
When operating the unit in the ADTRAN E220 Shelf
with an HFAC (HDSL shelf controller), all remote
terminal operation must be made through the control
port of the shelf controller, not the HTU-C.
Operation

Table D.
The screens illustrated in Figures 7 through 14 are for an
HDSL circuit deployed with ADTRAN’s Low Voltage
HDSL technology. The circuit includes an HTU-C,

The terminal interface operates at data rates from 1.2
kbps to 19.2 kbps. The asynchronous data format is
fixed at 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. The
supported terminal type is VT 100 or compatible.
Many portable personal computers use power-saving
programs that are known to interfere with applications
