5
The maximum number of connections of that type on the NCM. For example, there can
be two N2 connections on the NCM, on Ports 1 and/or 2. There can be one OWS Dial
connection on the NCM, on Port 2, 3, 5, or 6.
6
Use RS-232 cable to connect devices to the integrated RS-232 port. Connections at the
integrated ports are independent of each other; for example, a printer can be connected
to both ports at the same time. An RS-232 submodule is required for these connections.
7
Dial-up printer, OWS, or OT connected to phone line via a modem.
8
A configured OWS is an OWS that is defined in the data base.
9
N2 Bus can connect to this port via an RS-232 to RS-485 converter.
10
An unconfigured OWS is not defined in the data base (for example, a laptop computer).
It can be used to run logs and summaries, or to download a data base. They cannot be
connected directly to the Ethernet LAN.
11
Either an NT or an OT directly connects to the RJ-12 port via the NT Emulator cable.
12
An OT, or a PC with NT Emulator software, connects directly to the RS-232 port via
RS-232 cable.
Table 2 illustrates applications and port restrictions when installing
submodules into an NCM200 with one of the Migration Functionality
software sets downloaded (for the Network Port Application, see the
Network Port Technical Bulletin, LIT-6295050).
Note: When installing a Migration NIM, you have the option of loading
any of the Standard Functionality software sets instead of a
Migration software set.

Port
Application
(Ports must be configured via system software for
appropriate application.)
NT Port
Network Terminal directly connects via the NT cable.
Integrated RS-232 Port
(Port 3)
All devices connect to the integrated RS-232 port via an
RS-232 cable.
Configured OWS (i.e., defined in the data base)
Printer
Unconfigured OWS (i.e., not defined in the data base): An
example would be a laptop computer. May be used to run logs
and summaries, or to download a data base.
Communications
Submodule Port
(Port 2)
S2 Migration, connected via RS-232 submodule to JC/85 trunk
via Table Top Modem.
JC/85 Gateway, connected via RS-232 submodule to JC/85
headend. (Connection may alternately be via a high-speed
modem over a dedicated phone line.)
Note:
JC/85 Gateway: To send the NCM print file to the JC/85 printer, define the printer as
“Port 2” (the communications submodule slot--the same port definition as you assign
to Gateway). To print to a printer connected directly to the NCM200, connect the
printer into the RS-232 port (Port 3--the integrated port).
