2.2 IPX MAT and IPX Connection
Figure 2-1 shows a serial/direct connection to the IOC card of IPX. The serial/direct connection allows you
to access the IPX and the different nodes via the Fusion Link.
Figure 2-1 Serial/Direct Connection to IPX
IPX MAT software supports serial/direct connection to the target IPX. As seen in Figure 2-2, a modem is
required at both the remote maintenance center and the IPX site. The LINE port of the modem located at
the IPX site should be connected to the dedicated Line Circuit (LC), and the DATA port should be directly
connected to the IOC card. The serial/dialup connection allows you to access both the first node (IPX) of
the Fusion Link network and all other nodes within the Fusion Link network.

used for remote dialup access
CD-ROM Drive Any OS supported device
