Connecting Peripheral Devices

This section describes how to make the connections between the system and the following peripheral devices:

Connecting the Monitor

This section describes how to connect the monitor.

Required Cables for the Monitor

Two cables connect the monitor to the system:

Video Cable Connector

For all systems, the video cable connector has a video input connector at one end. The other end of the cable is permanently attached to the monitor.

Power Cable

For all systems except the MAP/5PV3, the power cable has a male plug at one end and a female plug at the other end. The power cable for the monitor connects directly into the chassis.

For the MAP/5PV3, the Y-cable has 2 female plugs and 1 male. The male connector plugs into a power cord. The female connector attached to the longer cord attaches to the monitor.

Connecting Monitor Cables

To connect the monitor cables:

  1. Do one of the following:
  2. Tighten the thumbscrews on the video cable connector with your fingers or with a small flatblade screwdriver.
  3. Plug the female end of the power cable into the monitor.
  4. Plug the male end of the power cable into a grounded AC outlet.

Connecting the Keyboard

A 6pin female DIN receptacle is located in the back of the system. The male plug is provided with the keyboard. Both of the connector assemblies are keyed to provide proper alignment. See Circular DIN 6Pin Connector for the Keyboard.


 

Note: Do not use the keyboard receptacle for any other purpose than to connect the keyboard.

See:

Connecting the Printer

A 25pin Dsubminiature female receptacle provides a parallel printer interface.

Use the instructions supplied in the manufacturer's manual Users' Guide 570 Printer or the guide provided with your printer to unpack and install your printer. The following installation overview supplements the information provided in your printer guide.

To connect the printer:

  1. Unpack your printer according to the steps provided in your printer guide.
  2. Install the ribbon cassette and paper as shown in your printer guide.
  3. Set the ONOFF switch of the printer to OFF.
  4. Set the options as described in your printer guide.
     

    Note: The Avaya Intuity system works with the default settings for the 570 printer.

  5. Connect the AC power cable to your printer.
  6. If your printer has a self-test feature, plug the AC power cable into a grounded wall outlet and initiate the self-test by following the instructions in the printer guide. When the self test is completed, turn the printer off and disconnect the power cable from the wall outlet.

    7. If your printer does not have a selftest feature, skip this step. Continue with Step 7.

  7. Insert the male end of your cable into the 25pin female parallel port connector.
  8. Tighten the thumb-screws with your fingers or with a small flat-blade screwdriver.
  9. Insert the other end of your cable into the parallel port on your printer.
  10. Depending on your type of printer connection, either tighten the thumb-screws or press the two wire-retaining clips together until you hear them click into the lock slots on either side of the plug.
  11. Plug the AC power cable into a grounded wall outlet.

Connecting a Modem

A modem can be used for connecting:

The following sections outline how to connect and set up the 7400A, the 3820, 3910, and U.S. Robotics modems.


 


Before initializing any modem, confirm that an AYC54 remote maintenance circuit card is not installed. The AYC54 has an on-board modem.

Connecting the 7400A Data Module

Use the 7400A data module for connections to a distant modem or terminal to establish a data call or for remote administration. You can connect the 7400A data module to either COM1 or to the serial interface circuit card.

Setting Up the Hardware on the 7400A Data Module

Configure the modem for DCE operation. See "DTE/DCE Hardware Set Up" in Chapter 2, "Installation," in the Lucent 7400A Data Module User's Manual, 555020706, for information on DCE settings.


 

Note: Make sure the EIA connector circuit card (located under the top panel of the 7400A data module) is set to DCE. If it is not, unplug the circuit card and turn it to the DCE setting.

Connecting the 7400A to COM1

To connect the 7400A data module to COM1:

  1. Attach a 9pin to 25-pin adapter to COM1.
  2. Attach an RS-232 cable to the adapter on COM1.
  3. Attach the other end of the RS-232 cable to the 7400A data module.
  4. Make the remaining connections.

    5. See Avaya Intuity Messaging Solutions Release 5 Getting Connected, 585-313-703, for more information on how to connect a data module.

Connecting the 7400A Data Module to the Serial Interface Circuit Card

To connect the 7400A data module to the serial interface circuit card:

  1. Attach the octopus cable (provided with the card) to the faceplate of the serial interface circuit card.
  2. Attach the modular jack end of the octopus cable to a DTE adapter.
  3. Connect the DTE adapter to the 7400A data module.
  4. Make the remaining connections.

See Avaya Intuity Getting Connected, 585-313-703, for more information on connecting a data module.

Testing the Hardware Connections and Setup

To verify that you have completed the hardware connections and the set up completed correctly:

  1. Power up the system.

    2. For more information on powering up your system, click on your system type:

  2. Plug an RS-232 minitester into the COM2 port on the back of the system.
  3. If the connections and set up are correct, DTR, RTS, and TD on the tester will light.
     

    Note: If the test fails, recheck the connections and setup.

    4. Continue with Completing Setup on the 7400A Data Module.

Completing Setup on the 7400A Data Module

Set the options and interface baud rate on the 7400A data module. See 7400 Data Module Option Settings and "Using the Front Panel" in the 7400A Data Module User's Manual,
555-020-706, for details. In the set interface option menu, set the ANS ONLY? option to YES, and then select the other options as listed in the following table:

Setting Up a Terminal to Log In Remotely Through a 7400A Data Module

To set up a remote terminal through a 7400A data module:

  1. Set the terminal line to 8 bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
  2. Set the terminal line speed to the same as that of the modem to which the terminal is connected.
     

    Note: See the documentation for the terminal for more information.

Connecting the Paradyne 3820 Modem

The Paradyne 3820 modem is supported for connection to COM2. COM2 is reserved for Avaya remote maintenance. Complete the procedures in this section to install the modem.


 

Note: If the system is equipped with an AYC54 remote maintenance board (RMB), do not connect a modem to COM2 for remote maintenance. Instead, connect the modem telephone line into the RMB.
