Windowing on the 715 BCT Terminal

If you are using the 715 BCT terminal, you should be aware of its windowing capabilities. You can use the 715 BCT terminal to log in to both the switch and the Avaya Intuity system to perform administration tasks and easily toggle back and forth between the two sessions. To control the windowing functions, use the function keys F1, F2, F3, and F8 as described in the following table.

Administering the 715 BCT Terminal on the Intuity System

You may install a remote terminal directly to a serial port as long as the distance between them is less than 50 feet (15 meters). If the distance is greater than 50 feet (15 meters), you must use a modem that connects the remote terminal to the Avaya Intuity system through the switch.

To administer the 715 BCT terminal:

1. Start at the Avaya Intuity Main Menu and select:

UNIX Management
	Modem/Terminal Administration
		Install Modem/Terminal Software

The system displays the Install Modem/Terminal Screen.

2. Enter terminal in the Device: field.
3. Enter the number of the serial port in the Serial Port Number: field.
4. Enter 9600 in the Speed: field.
5. Press F3 (Save).

The system displays the Install Modem/Terminal Software Window.

6. Press F6 (Cancel) twice.
7. Select:

Display Serial Port Status

The system displays the Display Serial Port Status Window.

8. Verify that the device has been assigned to the correct serial port.
    
   

   Note: To remove a device from a serial port, see Removing a Modem or Terminal Device.

9. Continue with Administering and Testing the Printer.

Administering and Testing the Printer

If your system has a printer, you must perform the following procedures:

• Connect the printer to a display terminal
• Administer the printer
• Test the printer


 


Note: The Avaya Intuity system supports a parallel printer only. Do not attempt to install a serial printer.

Connecting the Printer

Connect a printer to your display terminal using the appropriate parallel or serial port for your printer. If you have a 610, 4410, or 5410 terminal, the printer speed must match the terminal speed.

The Avaya Intuity system is compatible with these printers:

• AT&T 570 series of printers (preferred)
• AT&T 593
• AT&T 595
• NCR 6417


 


Note: If you connect a serial printer to the DTE connection on a 715 terminal, you must use a null modem cable between the terminal and the printer.

Administering the Printer
