Connecting the Blueworx Voice Response end
Prerequisites
for a direct
connection
- An EIA 232 (V.24) null modem cable long
enough to connect the pSeries computer to
the switch.
- If your model of pSeries computer has
rectangular 10-pin serial port connectors, a 10-pin to 25-pin 100-millimeter
(4-inch) converter cable.
- If necessary, a converter cable
for the switch end.
Procedure for
a direct
connection
- Locate one of the two serial ports on the
back of the pSeries computer.
- Connect one end of the null modem cable to the port, using a 10-pin
to
25-pin converter cable if necessary.
- Connecting the switch
end: Connect the other end of the null modem
cable to the switch, again using a converter cable if necessary. (To
locate
the appropriate port on the switch, see the manufacturer's instructions.)
Next step: If you need to install software, go to Software installation.
After this you need to define the exchange data link to AIX, as described
in Defining an exchange data link to AIX.
Prerequisites
for an
indirect connection
- Two compatible modems.
- Cabling
as required to connect the two modems (for details, refer to the
modem manufacturer's instructions).
- An EIA 232 (V.24)
cable long enough to connect one of the two modems to
the switch.
- An EIA 232 (V.24) cable long enough to connect
the other modem to the pSeries computer.
- If
your model of pSeries computer has
rectangular 10-pin serial port connectors, a 10-pin to 25-pin 100-millimeter
(4-inch) converter cable.
- If necessary, a converter cable
for the switch end.
Procedure for
an indirect
connection
- Connecting the Blueworx Voice Response end: Locate
one of the two serial ports on the back of the pSeries computer.
- Using an EIA 232 (V.24) cable (and, if necessary, a 10-pin to
25-pin converter
cable) connect one of the two modems to the port.
- Connecting
the switch end: Use the other EIA 232 (V.24) cable (plus
a converter cable if necessary) to connect the second modem to the
switch.
To locate the appropriate port on the switch, see the manufacturer's
instructions.
- Linking the two modems: Connect and
configure the two modems according
to the manufacturer's instructions.
Next step: If
you need to install software, go to Software installation.
