Installing a networking modem
Introduction
This section describes the additional hardware and software
installation procedures required to take advantage of
Meridian Mail’s networking capabilities. No additional
hardware installation is required for AMIS or Virtual Node
AMIS.
Note: You must have the Meridian Networking feature
installed. The “Installing Meridian Networking hardware”
chapter in the Network Installation Guide
(NTP 555-7001-213) describes how to configure a port
that was not configured at software installation time.
You will require an analog line card in the Meridian 1 Option
11 switch for the Meridian Networking connection to provide
transmission of control data used in the Meridian Mail
transfer protocol.
Supported modems
The U.S. Robotics 33.6 and 14.4 modems are the only
networking modems supported for the EC 11. Only the
U.S. Robotics 33.6 modem is shipped with new systems.
Installing a
networking modem
To install a networking modem, follow these steps.
Step Action
1 Connect the RS-232 port on the modem to the
RS-232 port on the EC 11 that has been configured
for a networking modem. (This is usually port 3 on
the 4-port fanout cable attached to the 4RS232
connector on Node 1.) If you are using the fanout
cable, plug the configured port directly into the
modem. If the fanout cable is not long enough,
extend its configured port with an NTND91AA/AB
straight-through RS-232 cable and an A0351509
gender changer.
2 Using a twisted pair cable, connect the modem’s
telephone port to the port associated with the analog
line card on the Meridian 1 Option 11 switch.
3 Plug the modem’s AC cord into an AC outlet. Leave
the modem’s power switch in the OFF position.
