Operator Interfaces
Installation of software into an FRM, generally done before the node ships to the cus-
tomer, requires a directly connected keyboard and monitor. Once the node has been
installed and configured, it can function with no operator interface. However, config-
uration, file copy (backup, restore, transfer, etc.), and monitoring operations require
a keyboard and screen, which can be in any of several forms.
The following items are shipped with each FRM:
●
Cable, DB9S to DB9S, for connecting the node's COM1 port directly to a PC
with software emulating an ASCII terminal.
●
Adapter, DB9P to DB25S, for connecting the node directly (via the above cable)
to an ASCII terminal.
●
Cable, DB9S to DB25P, for connecting an ASCII terminal via modem to the
COM1 port.
A keyboard and video device can also be connected via one of these methods:
●
ASCII terminal/keyboard (or PC with terminal emulation software) connected
to an async PAD port in the local FRM.
●
ASCII terminal/keyboard (or PC with terminal emulation software) connected
to an async PAD port in a remote FRX6000 or FRM, through a network, into an
X.25 port in the local node.
●
Keyboard and video device on a remote FRX6000 or FRM.
