UNDERSTANDING

TERMINALS AND

PRINTERS

Overview

System managers and service personnel use terminals to communicate with servers.

System manager terminals and optional printers are discussed in this chapter.

Understanding System Manager Terminals

The system manager terminal (SMT) is a video-display terminal that is connected to the

server. An optional printer can also be connected to the SMT.

System managers use SMTs to access the server menus to perform the following

administrative tasks:

-Setting up and controlling the Aria voice messaging system through the SMT menus

-Entering, changing, and receiving administrative information

-Ensuring correct server operation

-Optimizing server efficiency

Service personnel use SMTs to perform system maintenance and troubleshooting. Figure 1-1

is an example of an SMT connected to a server, with a printer connected to the SMT.

Types

of System Manager T

erminals

There are several types of SMTs:

-Primary

-Secondary

-Remote

-Remote diagnostic administrative center (RDAC)

Refer to the “The Primary System Manager Terminal” section, through the “Remote

Diagnostic Administrative Center” section, page 1-3, for a description of each type of

SMT.

The Primary System Manager Terminal

The primary SMT is for use by the system manager. For a direct connection, the SMT

must be located within 50 feet of the server cabinet.

The primary SMT displays status messages at initial power on, during system boot, and

during normal operation. The primary SMT also provides access to the SMT menus for

setting up and controlling the Aria voice messaging system. Disk-drive utilities for

maintenance tasks can be run only on the primary SMT.

erminals and Printers 1-3

Edition 2

Secondary System Manager Terminals

Secondary SMTs are optional and are for use by service personnel and system managers.

Secondary SMTs can be located at either local or remote sites. Up to three secondary

SMTs can be connected directly to the server. An additional seven SMTs can be

connected to an Octel Overture 350 that has the Multiple Terminal Access (MTA) option

installed.

Secondary SMTs allow multiple-terminal access. For example, a system manager using

one SMT can access menu 8 while a system manager using another SMT accesses menu

11. They cannot access the same menu at the same time. For details, refer to the

“Multiple Terminal Access” section, page 1-3, and the “Serial Channel Configuration”

section, page 1-4.

Remote System Manager Terminals

Customers who require SMTs to be located more than 50 feet from the server can use

modems. A personal computer can function as a remote SMT if it is equipped with a

terminal emulation program, such as ProComm Plusor MIRROR III, that supports Wyse

50, HP700/43, AT&T 4425/5425, or DEC VT100/VT102/VT220 terminal emulation.

Remote

Diagnostic Administrative Center

Customers can purchase Octel’s proprietary modem, P/N 010-3600-000, or any other

modem that supports the V.23 standard, for establishing a remote diagnostic

administrative center (RDAC). The RDAC can be used to establish an SMT connection,

enabling service personal to maintain and troubleshoot an OctelrOverturet350

remotely.

Because of the nonstandard baud rate of Octel’s proprietary modem, Octel

Communications does not recommend using it for PC-based applications such as Octel

Call Detail Records

(Octel

PC/CDR

t).

Multiple

erminal Access

Customers can purchase the asynchronous communications processor (ACP) card for the

Octel Overture 350. The ACP card provides seven 25-pin connectors for up to seven

multiple-terminal access (MTA) SMTs installed at local or remote locations.

With multiple terminal access (MTA), up to seven system managers can access the server

menus simultaneously from their separate terminals to make configuration changes,

review status logs, and perform other control functions. However, the ACP/MTA

software prevents more than one SMT from accessing a specified SMT menu at the same

time. Without MTA, a maximum of three system managers can access the server menus.
