553-4001-111 Standard 1.0 March 1997
Site layout
Each site has different restrictions and requirements for the layout of the
hardware. This section identifies some of the factors to take into account
when laying out the Meridian MAX site.
Consider the following factors when planning your site. The exact details
for your site’s layout depend entirely on your specific requirements and
restrictions. You may choose to discuss these and other factors with your
distributor or Nortel representative before installing the hardware.
ATTENTION
RS-232 cables that directly connect peripherals to the Meridian
MAX must not exceed 15 meters (50 feet). This length is based on
an EIA RS-232C standard. Peripherals can be farther away if
self-powered limited-distance (own power supply), or dial-up
modems are used.
ATTENTION
Cable connections between the LAN and the Meridian MAX must
not exceed 50 meters (164 feet).
This connection is an IEEE standard 802.3.
Supervisor location
Supervisors who must use common resources (such as catalogues or
inventory listings) should be placed close to the resources they require.
If the Meridian MAX system console is being used as a Supervisor Display
Access (SDA) console, ensure that the workstation is located less than 15
meters (50 feet) from the Meridian MAX IPE/IPE-E system. The SDA
console cannot be supported through regular or limited-distance modems.
SDA is only available on the IPE/IPE-E hardware platform.
