ESTABLISHING AN RDAC
Overview
The remote diagnostic administrative center (RDAC) is an HP 700/43 or a Wyse 55ES
terminal, or other terminal that can emulate a Wyse 50 terminal, attached to a modem at a
remote location. The RDAC allows service personnel to maintain and troubleshoot an
Octel
r
Overture
t
350 server remotely. RDAC is not available for the Octel Overture 250
server.
This chapter explains how to set up an RDAC with with Octel’s proprietary modem, or
any V.23 compatible modem. The RDAC connects to the Octel Overture 350 through a
dedicated telephone line to the J25 connector on the server’s main distribution board.
Because Octel’s proprietary modem requires a nonstandard baud rate, it is not
recommended for PC-based applications, such as Octel Call Detail Records
t
(Octel
PC/CDR
t
). If you are using any other modem, it should be reconfigured before using it
with for PC-based applications.
The instructions in this chapter are for the Octel proprietary modem. If you are using
another modem refer to the documentation that came with your modem.
If you are connecting another type of modem to the Octel Overture 350, refer to
Chapter 4.
