Connecting a CAT to the Control Unit
Connecting a CAT
to the Control Unit
The Call Accounting Terminal (CAT) is a standalone unit that provides
call accounting information. It connects to the SMDR jack on the control
unit and links the control unit to the CAT printer. The connection of the
CAT to the control unit depends on the distance and whether the CAT
and control unit share the same AC outlet.
The CAT and CAT printer are connected at the same time. For more
information, see “Call Accounting Terminal” in Chapter 8.
■ If the CAT is grounded to the same AC outlet as the control unit
and the CAT and CAT printer are within 14 ft. (4.27 m) and 50 ft.
(15.2 m), respectively, of the control unit, refer to “Connecting a
CAT and Printer on the Same AC Outlet.”
■ If the CAT is either not grounded to the same AC outlet as the
control unit or is more than 14 ft. (4.27 m) from the control unit,
refer to “Connecting a CAT and Printer on a Different AC Outlet.”
!
CAUTION:
To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD),
avoid touching leads, connectors, pins, and other
components. Wear a properly grounded wrist strap.
