Table 10-24. CIT Interface Pin Connections
Although not required for routine installation and maintenance, a CIT is
recommended for more sophisticated maintenance and administrative activities. A
personal computer (PC) is required for software download and to run the CPro-
2000 software. The DDM-2000 FiberReach Multiplexer CIT port (mounted on the
user panel) is a standard EIA-232-D (supersedes RS-232C specification)
interface configured as DCE for direct connection to a CIT. The CIT port is
compatible with most ANSI
3.64 ASCII terminals; however, it is optimized for
standard screens with display areas of 24 lines by 72 (or more) columns. A pager
function is included in the DDM-2000 FiberReach Multiplexer to accommodate
screen lengths from 3 lines to 150 lines.
Those CITs compatible with DDM-2000 OC-3 or OC-12 Multiplexers are directly
compatible with the DDM-2000 FiberReach Multiplexer.
Personal Computer Specifications for Software
Download
10
The personal computer (PC) used for software download should have:
â–
A minimum of 640K of random access memory (RAM)
â–
MS-DOS
*
version 2.0 or newer
â–
Hard disk
â–
At least one floppy disk drive of 360K or larger capacity. Although the disk
drive may accommodate either floppy or hard disk, a hard disk is preferred
for its better performance. The disk requirement is met with most portable
MS-DOS PCs with a single 3.5-inch disk. An MS-DOS PC with a hard disk
or a 3.5-inch 1.44M floppy disk may also be used.
