1.15.4 TL1 Craft Interface Installation
You can use the craft pins on the ONS 15454 ANSI backplane or the EIA/TIA-232 port on the 
TCC2/TCC2P faceplate to create a VT100 emulation window to serve as a TL1 craft interface to the 
ONS 15454 ANSI. Use a straight-through cable to connect to the EIA/TIA-232 port. Table 1-15 shows 
the pin assignments for the CRAFT pin field.
Note You cannot use the craft backplane pins and the EIA/TIA-232 port on the TCC2/TCC2P card 
simultaneously.
Note To use the serial port craft interface wire-wrap pins on the backplane, the DTR signal line on the 
backplane port wire-wrap pin must be connected and active.
1.16 Cards and Slots 
ONS 15454 cards have electrical plugs at the back that plug into electrical connectors on the shelf 
assembly backplane. When the ejectors are fully closed, the card plugs into the assembly backplane. 
Figure 1-55 shows card installation for an ONS 15454 ANSI shelf.
