System Programming

Video Display Terminal Programming Feature

You can program the class of service features from a video display terminal (VDT) instead of from the

programming station if you wish. The VDT that you use must be a serial-data, RS-232 type,

asynchronous device.

You can employ a personal computer (PC) if it will run a communications software program that allows

it to emulate a data terminal device (DTE equipment). Many effective communications sdftware

programs are available for this purpose. You can use any that you can arrange to match the following

data communications parameters:

Full Duplex

XMODEM communication protocol (8 bit data required)

Regardless of the type of programming terminal that you employ, you must connect it to the digital

telephone system data port

Refer to the Chapter 3 paragraph titled, Data Device Connections for

complete connection details.

The pages that follow provide an overview of the VDT programming feature.

For a more detailed,

step-by-step procedure, refer to lMl66-094, Digital Telephone System VDT Programming Reference

Manual.
