4. Establish a physical connection from the data port on the circuit pack,
through the MDF, to the wall jack where the data unit is installed.
5. Connect the data modules to the equipment.
Using an asynchronous data unit (ADU)
and a data line circuit pack
You connect an asynchronous data terminal through an ADU to a data line circuit
pack. Normally, the connected data terminal powers the data unit. The data unit
can also be remotely or locally powered using a 2012D transformer with a 248B
adapter. Data units connected to receive-only printers require external power.
1. Configure printer or terminal in accordance with the recommendations in
the vendor’s documentation.
2. Identify the port associated with the data unit or data module using the
Data Module Form (see ‘‘Administer the data modules’’ on page 95 ).
3. Establish a physical connection from the data port on the circuit pack,
through the MDF, to the wall jack where the data unit is installed.
4. Connect the information outlet to the ADU.
5. Connect the RS-232 plug on the ADU or data module to the data terminal.
6. Connect the printer to the ADU using a modem or data module, following
the instructions in Chapter 4, ‘‘Data modules and asynchronous data
units’’ , and Chapter 5, ‘‘External modems’’ .
Connecting PMS and printers using
TCP/IP
Property management systems (PMS) and printers can be connected to the
switch using asynchronous TCP/IP links. This section provides information on
connecting these adjuncts to the C-LAN and performing the initial administration.
Task list
Whether you use an end-to-end TCP/IP configuration, a terminal server or a PC
running RSP, you must complete the following tasks:
■
‘‘Administering IP node names’’ on page 131 .
■
‘‘Administering IP services’’ on page 132 .
■
‘‘Administering adjunct parameters’’ on page 228 .
■
If you are using a terminal server, also complete ‘‘Installing and
administering the terminal server’’ on page 122 .
■
If you are using a PC with the Downloadable RSP Tool, complete ‘‘Using
the downloadable reliable session-layer protocol tool’’ on page 229 .
