Installing the primary administration terminal
Standard 1.0 Option 11 EC Installation and Maintenance Guide November 1999
Installing an A/B
switchbox
The installation requires an A/B switchbox for remote
support. Place the switch into the “A” position to connect the
EC 11 to the local administration terminal. Place the switch
into the “B” position to connect the EC 11 to a modem which
can be dialed up by a remote maintenance terminal and
remote modem (usually at Nortel).
To install the A/B switchbox, follow these steps.
5 Plug the terminal’s AC cord into an AC receptacle,
and power on the terminal.
6 Configure the terminal as described in “Configuring
the administration terminal” on page 8-40.
Step Action
1 Place the A/B switchbox in a suitable location within
4.5 m (15 ft.) of the EC 11.
Although the switchbox may vary from the one
shown on the next page, the installation is the same.
See the instructions provided with the switchbox for
specific details.
2 Set the switch on the front of the A/B switchbox to
the A position.
a. Label the A switch position “Local.”
b. Label the B switch position “Remote.”
3 If there is an administration terminal already
connected directly to the EC 11, disconnect the
cable from the EC 11. Leave the cable attached to
the administration terminal.
4 Connect one end of a straight-through RS-232 cable
(NTND91AA/AB) to the connector on the EC 11
labeled “Console.”
5 Connect the other end of the straight-through cable
to the common connector (usually marked C) on the
A/B switchbox.
6 If you have disconnected the administration terminal
in step 3, connect it now through its cable and null
modem adapter to the connector marked A on the
A/B switchbox.
If you have not yet installed the administration
terminal, see the “Installing the primary
administration terminal to an A/B switchbox”
procedure on the following page.
