Room Layout/Environment
While the location of the RPSD Lock is not critical to its function, the Lock should 
be kept in an equipment cabinet near the communications system modem. This 
helps to protect the Lock against dust and other precipitate, as well as protecting 
it against physical damage from being knocked to the floor or having things 
dropped on it. You also can place it on a table near the communications system 
modem. Avoid placing the Lock on top of the equipment cabinet because heat 
tends to accumulate there.
NOTE:
NOTE:
A damaged Lock prohibits use of the port being protected. A secure 
location for the RPSD Lock is very important to maintaining uninterrupted 
service.
If more than one RPSD Lock is installed at a particular customer site, you may 
stack the Locks on top of each other to save space. The Locks generate very 
little heat, so you do not have to separate them.
NOTE:
NOTE:
In a multiple Lock installation, label the Locks according to which lines they 
protect to prevent confusion.
Power Supply
The RPSD Lock and the RPSD Key are both powered by ordinary AC outlets or 
by AC-to-12 VDC coverters connected to AC outlets. These need not be 
grounded (three-prong) outlets. If necessary, you can use extension cords. 
However, it is best to connect the Lock to the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) 
connected to the communications system. Otherwise, a power interruption can 
result in a blockage of both incoming and outgoing calls on the port being 
protected. If the modem to the RMATS channel is external (System 85 and 
DEFINITY Generic 2 models), the modem also should be powered from the UPS.
NOTE:
NOTE:
A locked port is inaccessible during a power outage for the duration of the 
outage. No administration of the RPSD Lock need be done when the 
outage ends. When power is restored, the RPSD Lock device automatically 
comes back on-line and resets itself to an Idle/Locked state. Key 
information and parameters are unchanged by the outage.
The power pack for the Lock draws a maximum of 18 watts. This should not 
place any great strain on the UPS but should be considered with the overall draw 
on the UPS.
External surge protection is optional.

Location of Administration Terminal or Printer
For installation purposes, it is simplest if the RPSD Lock or Key administration 
terminal or printer is in the same area as the Lock or Key. If the terminal or printer 
must be located at some distance from the Lock or Key (in another room, on 
another floor, etc.), the limitations of the EIA-RS232 interface must be 
considered.
To overcome the RS-232 restrictions, adjust the baud rate of the administration 
terminal or other equipment connected to the AUX. PORT as follows:
nCables of 0 to 50 feet—a maximum 9600 bps
nCables of 50 to 100 feet—a maximum of 4800 bps
nCables of 100 to 2000 feet—a maximum of 2400 bps
!CAUTION:
To minimize noise induction, cable distance should not exceed 50 feet.
Set the link speed by using the Set Communications Parameters command from 
the Menu of Commands. See Chapter 3, “RPSD System Administration” for 
details on using this command with the RPSD Lock or Chapter 4, “Key 
Administration and Use” for details on using this command with the RPSD Key.

Installation
Prior to installing the RPSD system, make sure you have all the hardware 
components. Also, consider these two items before you start the installation:
nYou must inform the INADS System Administrator at the local or central 
Technical Support Center (TSC) when the installation will take place and 
that the RMATS port will be down at that time. This ensures that no one 
tries to administer the communications system while the channel is 
disconnected. You can inform the TSC by calling 800-242-2121 and 
referring to Services Methods & Procedures, Talkline Case Number 
910207.
nINADS database updates must be performed for the INADS product 
connection call to be directed through a permanent Lucent Technologies 
RPSD Key. Without INADS updates, Lucent Technologies remote 
maintenance operations cannot access the customer’s communications 
system or peripheral product.
NOTE:
The customer must call the Technical Support Center to find out 
which channel is used for Remote Maintenance and Testing Service 
(RMATS). This information is only given to customers.

Cables, Connectors, and Ports
Ta b l e  2 - 1 shows the cables, connectors, and ports required to install the RPSD 
system. This table includes optional connections as well as the basic 
configuration.
Installing the RPSD Lock
Install the RPSD Lock between the central office line that is reserved as the 
remote maintenance and administration channel and the communications 
system modem (see Figure 2-1
). The central office line is usually in a 
punch-block configuration but may be set up in a number of different ways, 
including an RJ11 adapter or a multiple-pair gang plug. If one is not already 
present, install an RJ11 port on the central office line to facilitate installation of the 
RPSD Lock and also to make subsequent service easier. Label all connections.

The modem location depends on the type of communications system. The 
modem is located:
non the circuit pack for System 75 and DEFINITY Generic 1.
nexternal to the communications system for System 85 and DEFINITY 
Generic 2.
Figure 2-1. Common RPSD Lock Configuration
Connect the RPSD Lock to the administration terminal via the AUX. PORT on the 
back of the Lock, and power it from an AC outlet or Uninterruptible Power Supply 
(UPS).
On System 85 and DEFINITY Generic 2, the modems are external to the 
communications system. Check that the modems are plugged into the UPS, 
since a power outage that results in either the RPSD Lock or the modem being 
inaccessible also results in the RMATS channel being inaccessible.
