2.2.1 Cable Configuration for the Management Terminal
This section outlines the proper cable configurations to connect a
management terminal to the MicroMMAC.
You need an adapter kit containing the following items to connect a
terminal to the MicroMMAC:
• One RS232 cable
• One VT series adapter
• One VT series device cable
The adapter you use depends on whether you connect a VT320 terminal
or a PC emulating a VT320 to the MicroMMAC COM port. Read the
information included with the adapter kit to make sure that you are using
the correct adapter.
To configure the cables, perform the following steps:
1. Plug a straight-through twisted pair cable (e.g., an RS232 cable) into
the MicroMMAC’s COM 1 or COM 2 port.
2. Plug the other end of the RS232 cable into the adapter.
3. Connect the adapter into the VT series device cable and plug the other
end of the VT series device cable into the terminal.
4. Power on the terminal. The message “VT320 OK” appears on the
screen indicating that the cables are properly configured to the VT
terminal.
