CRAFT INTERFACE
Connection to the Total Access 1248 system can be made
through the DB-9 connector, labeled
CRAFT, located on the
front of the 1248/1200F Host unit. A DB-9 straight cable is
required.
Most personal computers or laptops can run communications
software that will emulate a VT100 terminal. Windows
programs such as Terminal or HyperTerminal are two such
examples in the Windows format, but there are many other
adequate, commercially available software packages, virtually
all of which allow the PC or laptop to emulate a VT100
terminal. Certain configuration items must be set on a PC or
laptop to act as a VT100 terminal for the Total Access 1248.
1. Set the parameters of the communications software to
the following settings:
♦ 9600 baud rate
♦ 8 data bits
♦ No parity
♦ 1 stop bit
♦ No flow control
2. Set the PC for direct connect on the appropriate
communications port (as opposed to dial up
connection).
3. Plug the male end of the data cable into the Total
Access 1248. Make connection to the PC or laptop as
appropriate for the equipment.
TOTAL ACCESS 1200F CONVERSION
The order of subtended Total Access 1200 Series DSLAMS
must be preserved when connecting to the Total Access
1200F for translation to the legacy ATM mode PVCs. See
the following table.
Existing Total Access 1200 Series DSLAM installations require
a software upgrade to convert the Total Access 1200 Series
DSLAMs to function with a Total Access 1200F.
To upgrade each Total Access 1200 Series DSLAM, perform
the following steps:
Total Access 1200F
Expansion Port
Total Access 1200 Series Client
1
Total Access 1200 Series Host
(Client 1)
2 Client 2
3 Client 3
4 Client 4

Upgrading the firmware disrupts DSL service to the
customer.
1. Connect a VT100-capable laptop/terminal to the
CRAFT
port of a Total Access 1200 Series DSLAM.
2. Set the terminal baud rate to 9600 baud, 8 data bits,
no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
NOTE
The 4-MB Flash Upgrade must be made at 9600 baud.
3. Press and hold the
Y key on the terminal keyboard and
apply power to the Total Access 1200 Series DSLAM.
When prompted, select 38400 for a faster transfer rate
(20 minutes at 38400 compared to 60 minutes at
9600).
4. If using HyperTerminal, go off-line, select properties,
change the baud rate, then go back online. VT100
settings should be set as follows:
♦ Baud Rate: 38400
♦ Data Bits: 8
♦ Parity: None
♦ Stop Bits: 1
♦ Flow Control: None
If properly connected, a row of CCCCs should begin to
display on the screen.
5. Download the current file identified by network
administration using the Y-Modem protocol.
If using HyperTerminal, use the Transfer > Send File...
Browse... dialogue box and identify the file by name
and location. Select YModem, then click Send.
6. Several messages are displayed that report system
progress for the upgrade procedure, including the
following:
♦ Erasing Flash
♦ Erase Complete
♦ Programming Flash
♦ Programming Complete
♦ Comparing Flash to SDRAM
♦ Verify Done
♦ Please set Baud Rate to 9600 and Reboot Unit Now
7. Reboot the Total Access 1200 Series DSLAM when the
download is completed.
8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 for each Total Access 1200
Series DSLAM.
9. Connect the Total Access 1200F expansion cables at
the DSLAM end.
10. Provision, test, and turn up the equipment. Refer to
“Section 4, Provisioning Defaults” and “Section 5, User
Interface” of the Total Access 1200F Installation and
Maintenance Practice (P/N 61179660L1-5) for detailed
instructions on provisioning the equipment.
