This chapter desribes other infrastructure requirements, including telephone, Ethernet
networks, and the system PC console. It contains the following sections:
“Network Connections” on page 4-2
“System PC Console” on page 4-4
Telephone Lines
You must provide one telephone and one or two telephone lines at your site:
One telephone and line is reserved for making voice service calls. The telephone
should be placed such that it can be used by a person who has access to the PC
console, the front of the system, and to the back of the system.
When using the AA-E97900 RSN console server with an RSN modem, you must
supply an additional telephone line to connect to the modem. You must supply a
sufficiently long telephone cable that has an RJ-11 connector on the end that
connects to the modem.
N O T E
To provide the most reliable service for RSN connections,
use a dedicated phone line for the modem. RSN calls
routed through a PBX might be slow, due to the load on
the PBX, or might not complete successfully because the
calls can become disconnected. If you must use a PBX,
do not route the telephone extension through a
switchboard; instead, provide a direct-dial analog number.
For additional information, see the following manuals:
OpenVOS System Administration: Administering and Customizing a
System
(R281) for information on processes, files, and commands required for
RSN support.
