ONS 15600

The TSC card has one RJ-45 port of the faceplate. The RJ-45 port allows you to access the system using

a standard web browser. You must use the RJ-45 port on the active TSC. While using the web browser, you

can perform local and remote Operations, Administration, Maintenance and Provisioning (OAM&P)

functions.

If a browser is not available, you can access the system using one of two RS-232 ports on the Customer

Access Panel (CAP). Each RS-232 port supports VT100 emulation so that you can enter TL1

commands directly without using a web browser. Each RS-232 supports its own TL1 session. Because

the CAP RS-232 port is set up as a DTE interface, you must use a 3-pair swapping null modem adapter

so that the TXD/RXC, DSR/DTR, and CTS/RTS pins are swapped when connecting to the serial ports.

The null modem adapter connects the CAP RS-232 port (male configuration) and the serial cable

(female configuration). Refer to the Cisco ONS 15600 Reference Manual for null modem adapter pin

assignments.

Step 1 Attach a 3-pair swapping null modem adapter to the RS-232 port on the CAP.

Step 2 Connect a serial cable to the null modem adapter, and to the serial port on your PC or

workstation.

Step 3 Complete one of the following:

• If you are using a PC, configure the terminal emulation software (Hyperterminal):

–

Terminal emulation = vt100

–

Bits per second = 9600

–

Parity = None

–

Stop BITS = 1

–

Flow control = None

• If you are using a UNIX workstation, connect from X-windows or the terminal using the

tip command:

tip -9600 /dev/ttyb (or ttya depending on where serial cable is connected)

Step 4 Press Enter. A > prompt appears.
