DLP-1 Connecting a VT100 Terminal or PC to the ADMIN or
CRAFT Port
Introduction
ATLAS 550 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 with terminal emulation software to the
ADMIN port (RJ-45) on the back of the unit or the CRAFT interface (DB-9) on the front of the unit allows
access to the menus and management features of the ATLAS 550. This section specifies how to connect the
VT100 terminal or PC to the ATLAS 550.
Prerequisite Procedures
The ATLAS 550 must be powered up for terminal communication to function.
Tools and Materials Required
• A VT100 compatible terminal or PC with terminal emulation software
• An appropriate cable (shipped with the unit) to connect the ATLAS 550 to a terminal
To prevent electrical shock, do not install equipment in a wet location or during a
lightning storm.
Electronic equipment can be damaged by static electrical discharge. Before handling it,
put on an antistatic discharge wrist strap to prevent damage to electronic components.
Place equipment in antistatic packing material when transporting or storing. When
working on equipment, always place it on an approved antistatic mat that is electrically
grounded.
