Hello,
I need some help concerning the VCS disable switch cable.
What are the cable types, that I need for this configuration ?
Is this the right way to integrate the VCS disable switch cable ?
|----------| male null modem cable
| Console | ---------------- ,-------(to DECServer)
| Terminal |---------|VCS/LOC switch|====<
|----------| ---------------- `-------(to system)
modem cable female modem cable
or directly connected
I have read some entries in the notes conference but I'm not sure.
Is it really a null modem cable for connecting male part of the
male/female connector to the terminalserver ?
And the other sides, switch side and female part of the male/female
connector, are connected by modem cables, that means 1:1 ?
Please give me some informations as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance
Hans

Hans,
Your doing good. Here are some part numbers that will allow you to
use deconnect cables and adapters. *NOTE - you didn't specify what
kind of server or what kind of system you are trying to manage so take
note of the following:
If the managed system's console port is a 25 PIN RS232 connector then
you can attach the female side of the VCS disable switch directy to the
console port.
Assume:
The managed system has a DEC423 (Deconnect style) console port and so
does the terminal server. You will need:
2 - BC16E DEconnect cables of sufficient length -
1 - H8571-C male DECconnect to 25 pin adapter
1 - H8575-A female DECconnect to 25 pin adapter
The H8571-C adapter will be used to attach to the female side of the
VCS disable switch. Plug in one of the BC16E cables into the back of
the H8571-C and the other end into the console port of the managed
system.
Next, take the H8575-A adapter and mount it on the other side of the
VCS disable switch. Plug one end of the remaining BC16E into the
back of the H8575 adapter and the ohter end into the desired terminal
server port. *Note*: If the terminal server has a 25 pin RS232 port
then you will need an additional H8575-A adapter to plug into the
terminal server port.
Regards,
Dan

Is this VCS disable switch a Digital part? I have a customer looking
for such a feature, and wants to get if from us as part as an overall
solution.
Cheers,
Greg
