The TSC card has one RJ-45 port of the faceplate. The RJ-45 port allows you to access the system using
a standard web browser. You must use the RJ-45 port on the active TSC. While using the web browser,
you can perform local and remote Operations, Administration, Maintenance and Provisioning (OAM&P)
functions.
If a browser is not available, you can access the system using one of the two RS-232 ports on the
Customer Access Panel (CAP). Each RS-232 port supports VT100 emulation so that you can enter TL1
commands directly without using a web browser. Each RS-232 port supports its own TL1 session.
Because the CAP RS-232 port is set up as a DTE interface, you must use a 3-pair swapping null modem
adapter so that the TXD/RXC, DSR/DTR, and CTS/RTS pins are swapped when connecting to the serial
ports. The null modem adapter connects the CAP RS-232 port (male configuration) and the serial cable
(female configuration). Table 2-1 lists the null modem adapter pin assignments.
Step 1 Attach a 3-pair swapping null modem adapter to the RS-232 port on the CAP.
Step 2 Connect a serial cable to the null modem adapter, and to the serial port on your PC or workstation.
Step 3 Complete one of the following:
• If you are using a PC, configure the terminal emulation software (Hyperterminal):
–
Terminal emulation = vt100
