166 RLC Installation and Administration Guide
Configuring the RLC Standard 4.0
Using the XConnect command for PBX
maintenance from a remote site
Use the XConnect command to establish a connection to the host PBX’s serial
data interface (SDI) port from a remote site. First, you must ensure that there is a
straight-through serial connection from the RLC to the PBX’s SDI port. Then,
you must log on to the RLC using Telnet. With these connections established,
remote-site system administrators can perform PBX maintenance procedures.
Notes:
1. The terminal settings must be as follows: 9600 8 N 1 (9600 Baud, 8 data
bits, No parity, 1 stop bit).
2. The XConnect command requires that you connect plug 2 of the RLC
Multi-I/O cable (Basic or Enhanced) to the PBX's SDI port.
