Considerations
You can connect only one CAT to the system. You must use a serial
printer such as the CAT printer. You must locate the CAT Plus within the
distances noted below:
■ Control unit
— 14 ft. (4.27 m) direct connection
— 1000 ft. (305 m) using building wiring
■ Serial printer, 50 ft. (15.2 m)
■ Power supply-grounded wall outlet, 4 ft. (1.22 m)
Hardware Requirements
The following hardware is required for CAT installation:
■ Call Accounting Terminal, CAT Plus
■ Serial printer (Lucent Technologies CAT Printer is recommended)
connected by a Z200A EMI cable to the PRINTER jack of the CAT
■ D8W cord and 355AF adapter connecting the SMDR port on the
communications system to the SMDR jack of the CAT
A summary of the installation procedure is provided below:
!Before connecting the CAT, set the 10 CAT switches to establish the
speed or baud rate for the CAT and its associated printer.
!Connect the control unit, CAT, printer, and power supply. See
Chapter 5, “Connecting a Printer to the Control Unit.” Do not use an
outlet that is controlled by a wall switch.
!Test the CAT Plus, following the instructions provided in the
documentation packaged with the application.
