Installation and Operation Manual

A Terminal Server Application

SC-ADT device can be connected to up to 16 or 32 ports of local asynchronous customer 
equipment. Each SC-ADT front panel port is a standard EIA-232 async interface that can be 
configured as terminal server ports for the management of remote equipment through their craft 
ports. To support more async ports, simply add more SC-ADT units to the ethernet segment at each 
site as required. Craft equipment attached to the SC-ADT can be managed from anywhere in the 
customer's network via Ethernet LAN or modem dial-in access. The SC-ADT device itself is only 
required at craft device sites. 

Figure 1-3

 shows Users A, B, C and D making a Telnet or Dial-Up 

connection to Craft Devices A, B, C and D, respectively.

Telnet and Dial-in Access

Telnet users have authenticated access via LAN or modem to any SC-ADT async port, or can 
select any connected device from a convenient port menu.

Dial-in users employ the SC-ADT internal modems (if so equipped) or one of two external 
modems over the PSTN. The external modems use async Port 1 or Port 2. The integral modems 
use the modem/line RJ45 connector at the shelf/enclosure rear panel. 

Dial-in users connect to SC-ADT in Terminal Emulation mode using applications like 
HyperTerminal or in Dial-up Networking mode for standard IP access. Multiple dial-in users 
may establish simultaneous management sessions to separate ports, and can access one terminal 
server port after another without having to disconnect and redial the modem connection.

Note

If there is a LAN connection at the SC-ADT site, several users may Telnet simultaneously over the LAN to 
additional craft devices as long as they are connecting to different ports.
