Chapter 2 Installation
GENERAL
Installation is simple and straightforward. The 500 TA is designed for easy
connection to the user's PC and to the ISDN network. Several easy configura-
tion options are described in later sections.
RECEIPT INSPECTION
Check the contents against the packing list, and inspect carefully for damage.
If there is damage or material shortage, contact the shipping agent and
TxPORT for advice and assistance. We suggest you retain the shipping con-
tainer and packing material for possible future shipment.
TELEPHONE WIRING
If your installation requires that you install or modify telephone wiring then
keep the following in mind:
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically
designed for wet locations.
• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone
line has been disconnected at the telephone interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Installation requires only a screwdriver and the necessary connections to the
PC, the telephone, and the ISDN network. A typical installation is illustrated in
Figure 3 on page 16 .
PC Connection
The PC interface to the 500 TA is through an EIA-232E, 25-pin, D-type con-
nector. Insert the PC cable into the PC connection (DTE port) of the 500 TA.
Insert the opposite end into the PC serial port. Secure the connect screws, if
used, to complete the connection.
To use the unit’s built-in AT command set or built-in LocalMenu configuration
feature, connect the 500 TA to a PC installed with terminal emulation software
