Getting Started
This section explains how to use the NT to communicate with the
Metasys system.
Communication includes:
Communicating
with the Metasys
System
z
establishing a connection-- plugging the NT to any NCM or Remote
NT Jack
z
talking to the Metasys system-- entering data and selecting options
introducing yourself to the Metasys system-- logging on and entering
your password
z
listening to the Metasys system-- understanding screen displays and
summaries
To establish a connection with the Metasys system, just plug the NT
connector directly into the modular phone jack of any NCM (see Figure 2
and Figure 3). For an NCM45x0-2 model, use the NCM4500 NT Cable
Kit (MS-NC45NTK-0 or MS-NC45NTE-0) to provide the data and
power connection (see Figure 4).
Establishing a
Connection
The NT cable extends up to 4 1/2 feet away from the NCM. While
you’re using the NT, you can either hold it in your hand or leave it
hooked to the mounting bracket on the NCU. Mounting brackets are
available on 2
-
slot and 5
-
slot NCUs.
You can also communicate with the NCM by plugging the NT into a
Remote Network Terminal Jack (not supported with NCM45x0-2). The
NT can function remotely up to one mile (1.6 km) away from the NCM
over a separate NT trunk. For more information on the Remote NT, refer
to the
Network Terminal Technical Bulletin (LIT-636012) .
