Setting Up Remote Terminals 4-5
101–1386–001
Edition 2
Obtaining the Required Components
You need two modems to connect a remote SMT to the server. Locate one modem at the
server site and the other at the remote-terminal site. You can use a PC for the remote
terminal if a terminal-emulation program, such as ProComm Plus or MIRROR III, that
supports Wyse 50, HP700/43, AT&T 4425/5425, or DEC VT100/VT102/VT220 terminal
emulations is installed.
Note:
The Wyse 55ES terminal, normally shipped by Octel with its servers, emulates the
Wyse 50 terminal.
The modem that works best for this application is the Boca 14.4Kbps V.32bis modem,
which is a 14400-baud modem. The server communicates at either 1200 baud or 9600
baud; 9600 baud is recommended for remote system management.
The following three sections provide lists of components needed to connect modems to
the server and to a remote terminal or PC. The customer must supply all of these
components. If the server has already been set up for remote online upgrades, all modem
hardware for remote system management is already in place.
Obtaining Components To Connect a Modem to the Server
You must have the following components to connect a modem to the server:
-
External Boca 14.4Kbps V.32bis modem (available from Octel)
-
Null-modem connector, P/N 278-1083-000 (Octel Overture 350 server only)
-
Cable
-
For the Octel Overture 350 server, use the SMT cable with a DB25 connector,
P/N 057–1270–000
-
For the Octel Overture 250 server, use the modem cable provided with the server,
P/N 057–1325–000
-
2- or 4-wire modular telephone cord to connect the modem to the telephone line
(usually supplied with the modem.)
-
110-Vac power receptacle (230 Vac in Europe) for modem power.
-
Telephone line with RJ11 jack.
