HAPTER 5: CABLING THE SYSTEM
Cabling for Serial Access
Initial access to the Cuda 12000 is achieved through either of the COM ports
located on the front of the Management module. You must first access the
system through these COM ports to assign an IP address to the Craft port
and configure the system for network access.
Both COM port 1 and COM port 2 provide serial access to the system. The
advantage to this form of direct access is that you do not loose your
connection to the system upon reboot. Both COM port 1 and COM port 2
can be cabled for either terminal or modem access.
Connection to these COM ports are achieved through these ADC-provided
serial cables:
Refer to Appendix C for serial access cabling wiring diagrams.
Cabling COM 1 for Terminal Access
The Management module supports local (serial) access through the COM 1
port located on the front of the Management module. You can use the
ADC-provided serial cable to attach a COM server, terminal emulator, or a PC
running a terminal emulation program to this port to access the command
line interface.
To cable the Management module for local access, have the terminal access
serial cable at hand and use the following procedure:
1. Insert the 8-pin Mini-DIN connector on one end of the cable into the
COM 1 port located on the front of the Management module.
2. Attach the DB-9 connector on the other end of the cable to a COM
server, or a system running a terminal emulation program.
Terminal Access Cable This 10-foot serial cable consists of an 8-pin Mini
DIN connector on one end; a 9-pin female DSub on
the other.
Modem Access Cable This 10-foot serial cable consists of an 8-pin Mini
DIN connector on one end; a 25-pin male DSub on
the other.
