3.4 Console Port Connection

For local management, you can use a computer with terminal emulation software configured

to the following parameters:

• VT100 terminal emulation

• 9600 bps

• No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit

• No flow control

Connect the mini-RJ-11 male end of the console cable to the console port of the IP DSLAM.

Connect the female end to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) of your computer.

3.5 ALARM Connection

A closed circuit on the ALARM input pins indicates an alarm. Pins 7 and 3 are alarm input

one. Pins 8 and 4 are alarm input two. Pins 8 and 5 are alarm input 3. Pins 9 and 8 are alarm

input 4.

The IP DSLAM signals an alarm when it detects an alarm on the ALARM input pins or the IP

DSLAM.

To signal an alarm, the IP DSLAM opens the circuit for pins 1 and 6 (the common pin) and

closes the circuit for pins 2 and 6.

Examples of an alarm on the IP DSLAM are when the IP DSLAM’s voltage or temperature is

outside of the normal range.
