2-2.1.3 Red Serial Data Port 1
The RED SERIAL DATA PORT 1 interface can be configured for either EIA-530A or EIA-232 using the
STE HMI menu. At this port, the STE functions as a DCE (Data Communication Equipment) interface.
2-2.1.4 Red Serial Data Port 2
The RED SERIAL DATA PORT 2 is installed in the Data STE, STE-R, and STE-RT units. It is reserved
for future capabilities but may also be used to provide a hard reset for the STE.
2-2.1.5 Power Port
The POWER PORT is a DB9 connector used to connect to the STE Power Supply.
2-2.1.6 ISDN Port
The ISDN PORT is an S/T interface (RJ-45 connector) used to connect to the ISDN service.
2-2.1.7 ISDN Selector Switches
The ISDN TERMINATION SWITCHES are used to set the ISDN characteristics. For point-to-point ISDN
Mode (the only mode currently supported), they are set to the “ON” (up) position.

2-3. GENERAL PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Before you install your STE, you should determine the following:
•
Identify the type of STE you wish to install (CEU, Office STE, STE-R, STE-RI, STE-RT, Digital
STE or Tactical STE).
You can connect an Office STE or STE-R to either an ISDN or PSTN.
You can connect a Tactical STE or a STE-RT to ISDN, PSTN, TRI-TAC (TRI Service TACtical
network), or a serial EIA-530A/EIA-232 network (referred to as a Black Digital Interface (BDI)).
A CEU or STE-RI can only be connected to ISDN.
Ensure you have a complete STE, with all components of the STE type you are installing
(Paragraph
2-1.1 )
•
The telephone service (PSTN, ISDN, TRI-TAC, BDI) to which the STE will be connected.
For some applications to be enabled, the STE must be connected to an ISDN network.
Ensure your telephone line functions properly.
•
Identify where you will locate the STE within the facility
•
Ensure your STE has access to a power source. See Paragraph 2-3.1
•
Verify the proper connections for each type service are available at the desired location.
