Using Terminal and Switchpack
Modes
3
Choosing an Interface Mode
You can make configuration changes either through an asynchronous terminal
(Terminal Mode) or by manually changing switches and jumpers on the board
(Switchpack Mode). Terminal Mode is the default setting.
In Terminal Mode:
H You change configuration parameters by selecting menu options that appear
on a VT100-compatible terminal attached to the front panel of the termination
unit.
H The standalone unit is preconfigured at the factory for CP (customer
premises) operation.
In Switchpack Mode:
H You change configuration parameters by moving switchpacks and jumpers on
the board.
H The standalone unit is not preconfigured. You must ensure that the
switchpacks and jumpers are set as desired.
H You can still display information about the unit from the terminal and run
loopback tests.
H Any changes you make in Terminal Mode are lost when you change to
Switchpack Mode.
Connecting to a System Terminal
An optional system maintenance terminal is attached to your Model 7924
standalone termination unit through the modular jack on the front panel.
Terminals can be attached to both endpoints (CO and CP).
The system terminal must be a VT100-compatible terminal or a PC running
emulation software.
