SET-UP AND OPERATION
9.1
Craft Terminal Setup and Operation
9.1.1
The front-panel craft interface port allows the craft to
configure the unit for a particular application, view the stored T1
performance statistics, as well as graphically view circuit status
and perform various test routines. Each menu provides an asso-
ciated HELP screen that explains the function and use of the
menu. HELP screens are accessed by pressing (?).
9.1.2
The craft interface port is a DB-9 connector with an
electrical RS-232 female interface in a DCE configuration. The
craft device can be a terminal operating in the VT-100 protocol
or a PC running a VT-100 terminal emulator program. If a
VT-100 terminal is used a null-modem" cable may be required
between the terminal and the NIU. If a PC with VT-100 emula-
tor program is used, a standard RS-232 cable can be used. The
RS-232 port should be set up for 9600 baud, no parity, and one
stop bit (NP,1S). The electrical connections to the craft port are
shown in Figure 11.
9.2
Menus and Screens
9.2.1
MAIN Menu Screen
Once the terminal or PC is connected to the craft interface port,
the MAIN menu should appear. The MAIN menu provides the
NIU model number, CLEI code, Technical Service contact tele-
phone number, as well as navigation buttons to other screens.
