Meridian Link Release 5C/CCR Release 3C Installation and Upgrade Guide
Chapter 19: Single Terminal Access
This chapter describes how to configure the Meridian 1 to support Single
Terminal Access (STA). STA is available with X11 release 19 and greater,
and provides integrated access to operation, administration, and
maintenance (OA&M) functions for the systems it monitors. STA allows a
single terminal to access the Meridian 1 and up to three other applications,
including Meridian Link/CCR. For more information, refer to the ÒSingle
Terminal AccessÓ chapter in the
X11 System Management Applications
(NTP 553-3001-301).
Hardware and software requirements
To implement STA to support Meridian Link/CCR, the following hardware,
software, cabling, and connections are required:
¥ a VT220 terminal or compatible
¥ available ports on an MSDL card (NT6D80)
Ñ one for the STA terminal (must be port 0)
Ñ one for each STA-monitored system (Meridian Link/CCR)
Note: You can also use a port on the MSDL card for the AML
connection.
¥ one MSDL faceplate cable (NTND27) for the STA port
¥ one MSDL faceplate cable (NTND27) for each monitored system port
¥ one NT1R03 or NT7D58 cable for each monitored IPE system
¥ one NT7D61 cable for each monitored Application Module system
¥ one null modem adapter for each NT7D61, NT1R03, or NT7D58 cable
