Releases
This document concerns the serial connection ("F" interface) to hiT 7070 and 7050 releases
1.02
1.1
2.0
NOTE: Release 1.0 of hiT 7050 does not provide "F" interface support.

Symptoms
In some cases it is not possible to connect from TNMS-CT 2.0 or higher to Surpass hiT
7070/7050 using the serial line.

Problem Description

Surpass 7050 serial cable

The serial cable used to connect to Surpass hiT 7050 must have a particular pin assignment.
Some commercially available "null-modem" cables will work and others will not work, depending
on the pin connection of the cable.

Workaround
Use a serial "null-modem" cable that has only pins 2 and 3 (RX and TX) connected (cross), and
pin 5 for ground.
All other pins are not connected, as shown in the diagram below:

Appendix: Setting up the serial connection.

Procedure from User Manual

Attached the procedure extracted from the TNMS-CT V1.0 User Manual (UMN) Chapter 3.6.1.

chapter361.doc

If the serial connection in TNMS-CT is already set, check that it is properly configured by
comparing the settings shown in the user manual in point 7 of chapter 3.6.1 (see the
screenshots in the document attached above).

If the serial connection does not work (fails when trying to connect), it is also recommendable to
check the following:

3. DCN Management in TNMS-CT

From the main TNMS-CT menu choose

Configuration -> DCN management

In this window the first item is the Serial Line Server. Clicking on the server icon displays the
four Serial Line Server Channels that are available in TNMS-CT.
hiT 7070 and 7050 are QST V2 Network Elements.

Here the NE ("QST V2 Serial Line NE") must exist under the QST V2 Serial Line Channel, as
shown in the figure above.
