Connecting to Strata DK A
This appendix shows how to connect a DKAdmin/DKBackup PC to the Strata DK.
Hardware Requirements
The DKAdmin/DKBackup PC is required to edit or change a Strata DK customer database file
with or without being connected to a Strata DK telephone system. A PC equipped with
DKAdmin/DKBackup enables you to upload, download, upgrade and/or edit complete Strata
DK databases.
Note DKBackup does not provide the edit function.
The hardware requirements described below are necessary to exchange (send/receive) data
between the DKAdmin/DKBackup PC and a Strata DK telephone system. Exchanging data
enables the PC to pull customer configuration data from an operating Strata DK and save this
data, and then send the data to the Strata DK (see Figures 16 to 22 for possible connecting
configurations).
♦ The DKAdmin/DKBackup PC must be equipped with an available COM port to enable
the PC to connect and exchange (send/receive) data with a Strata DK.
♦ The Strata DK must be equipped with an RSSU, PIOUS, PIOU, or RSIU/RSIS PCB for
local and/or remote Administration.
♦ When DKAdmin/DKBackup must interface with a Strata DK remotely (more than 50 feet
apart):
♦ The Strata DK PIOU, PIOUS, or RSIU must be equipped with an IMDU or RMDS
built-in modem; or, the Strata DK RSSU, PIOUS, PIOU, RSIU/RSIS TTY port must
be connected to an external modem or PDIU-DS data interface unit.
♦ The DKAdmin/DKBackup PC COM port must be connected to a modem or PDIU-DI
data interface unit or have a built-in modem.
System Connection Configurations
Figures 16 to 22 show possible ways to connect the DKAdmin/DKBackup PC to the Strata
DK. They provide installation guidelines and instructions for setting up and using the
DKAdmin/DKBackup built-in auto dialer to call Strata DKs remotely or locally. These figures
include the following configurations:
