Introduction
Remote configuration of the MultiDSU involves using modems to
communicate from the local PC or terminal to the remote MultiDSU,
where a special Remote Configuration Cable is used to link the receiv-
ing modem to the Command port of the MultiDSU.
Modem-Based Remote Configuration Procedure
1. At the remote site, connect a special cable (Remote Configuration
Cable) to the Command port jack on the back panel of the Mul-
tiDSU and the RS232 connector on the modem. The special cable
is a serial cable with male connectors on both ends. Refer to
Appendix A for cable details.
2. Connect the modem to your local telephone line.
3. Provide your telephone number to the person verifying your
configuration.
4. At the main site, connect your local PC to a modem that is con-
nected to a dial-up line.
5. Apply power to your terminal or PC. After the terminal or pc boots
up, run communications software. Set up your communications
software for 19.2K bps, 8N1 (8-bits, no parity, and 1-stop bit) and
call the remote modem.
6. Type "menu," then press the ENTER key to display the MultiDSU
Main Menu.
7. When done, disconnect the Remote Configuration Cable from the
modem and the MultiDSU at the remote location.
