DLP-1 Connecting a VT100 Terminal or PC to the CRAFT Port
Introduction
Total Access 6XX shelf management and provisioning are facilitated by a series of intuitive menus that are
accessible on a computer screen. Connecting either a VT100 terminal or a PC emulating a VT100 terminal to
the RJ-48
CRAFT port on the rear of the unit allows access to the menus and management features of the
Total Access 6XX. An adapter is required for access to this rear port. For more details concerning this
adapter, refer to CRAFT Port on page 31. This DLP specifies how to connect the VT100 terminal or PC to
the unit.
Prerequisite Procedures
The Total Access 6XX must be powered for terminal communication to function.
