Remote users can access the
RFL
9660 by using PC's
with a 286 (or better) processor and a
Hayes-compat-
ible modem. A mouse is optional, but its presence will
simplify use. The PC must be running DOS
3.1
(or better), with Microsoft Windows Version
3.1
(or
better) installed. Microsoft Windows is recommended,
because of its multi-tasking capabilities. The
RFL
9660
also accommodates access by a dumb terminal or with
most PC terminal emulation programs.
The
RFL
9660 is compatible with the Microsoft
Windows Terminal Emulation Program. This allows
user-friendly access to all
RFL
9660 functions. It also
gives you the ability to conveniently run
device-
specific DOS-based programs once the
RFL
9660
selects a port. By using the Windows terminal
function keys, user-programmable events can be
invoked with a mouse.
Once the switch is accessed, a simple ASCII com-

When the
RFL
9660 is powered up, it conducts a full
self-test routine. A built-in watchdog timer can trigger
a system reset and communicate a failure alarm. The
diagnostics can be run at any time, either from a
terminal connected to the local port on the front of the
RFL
9660, or from a remote terminal.
The
RFL
9660 includes
a
redundant
RJ-11
telephone
jack. This allows the
RFL
9660 to share an extension
with a telephone.
The
RFL
9660's emergency interrupt signalling can
be used to interrupt a call into the
RFL
9660 if the
phone needs to be used in an emergency. In addition,
interrupt signaling can give another user priority
access to the
RFL
9660.
