Applications
The NT8D41AA Serial Data Interface paddle board is used to connect the
Meridian 1 switch to a variety of communications devices, printers, and
peripherals. Any RS-232-C compatible device can be connected to either of
the card’s two serial ports.
The standard application for the paddle board is to connect the Meridian
1 switch to the system console. This can be either a direct connection
if the console is located near the switch, or through a modem for remote
maintenance.
Bell 103/212 compatible dumb modems are recommended to connect a
remote data terminal. If a smart modem (such as a Hayes modem) is
used, configure the modem for the dumb mode of operation (Command
Recognition OFF, Command Echo OFF) before connecting the modem
to the asynchronous port.
The serial data interface connectors on the paddle board are not RS-232-C
standard DB-25 connectors. The NT8D84AA interface cable is used to
adapt the paddle board to a non-standard pinout DB-9 connector (normally
located on the I/O panel). The NT8D93 cable is then used to connect the
non-standard DB-9 connector to a peripheral that uses a RS-232-C standard
DB-25 connector. See
Figure 269 "SDI paddle board cabling" (page 819) .
