What’s next?
For Pipeline 75 and Pipeline 85 models, you can attach telephone equipment to
the POTS ports to use the analog services of ISDN with your Pipeline. If you
have a Pipeline 50, you can enable the POTS ports by upgrading to a Pipeline 75.
To do so, you need to obtain a hash code from the Technical Assistance Center.
•
If you are connecting telephone equipment to the Pipeline, see “Connecting
telephone equipment” on page 2-21.
•
If you are not connecting telephone equipment to the Pipeline, see “Starting
up the Pipeline” on page 2-24.
Optional serial connection to an IBM-compatible computer
To connect an IBM-compatible personal computer to the Pipeline:
1
Find an unused serial connector on your computer. Make a note or which
serial port you are connecting to (most often COM1 or COM2); you’ll need
this information later when setting up the configuration software. If no serial
port is currently free, disconnect from one of the ports a device that you can
temporarily do without, such as an external modem.
2
Connect a modem cable to the serial connector.
3
If the plug at the other end of the modem cable has 25 pins, connect the 25-
to-9 pin adapter included with the Pipeline to the plug.
4
Connect the cable to the Terminal port on the back of the Pipeline.
