Serial Channel Configuration
Through the SMT, serial channels can be configured on the Octel Overture 350 main
distribution board and the Octel Overture 250 CCF card. This configuration allows
-
Multiple SMT access
-
Simultaneous SMT and RDAC service access
-
A configurable baud rate
The serial-channel configuration improves task functionality by increasing the number of
SMTs available for a single system. It also adds control and convenience by bringing
several SMT functions on-screen. The configuration also improves the speed of
on-screen entry.
The Terminal Keyboard
System managers use the terminal keyboard to enter information in the server menus. For
information about the keyboard for your terminal, refer to the documentation that came
with your terminal.
Using Printers
Customers can purchase a printer from Octel, or from an outside source for use with the
SMT. Refer to Chapter 3, page 3-1 for a list of compatible printers. You can use a printer
to print system menus, statistics, distribution lists, usage reports, and maintenance
information. These printouts provide a permanent record of the current server
configuration.
Service personnel use printers to print troubleshooting information, such as diagnostics
and status logs.
