one CN4 card nest can contain up to 30 converters.
Both Crocus 2M CNV and Crocus Nx64 CNV are available as Card Version.
Both Table Top and Card Version can be powered with 230/115 Vac, -48 Vdc or 48 Vac. The Card
Versions are powered via the CN4 card nest.
1.3 Modular interface overview
A complete range of plug-in modular DTE interfaces can be used in conjunction with the Crocus CNV. All
these modular DTE interfaces can be exchanged in only a few seconds.
The Crocus CNV only supports transparent DTE interfaces. The following table lists the DTE interfaces
modules which can be used in the Crocus CNV:
• V35
• V36
• RS530
• X21
• Bridge

CN4 card nest can hold up to 15 cards. It can be powered with:
• -48 Vdc (no power modules required)
• 230/115 Vac (one or two power module(s) required)
• both -48 Vdc and 230/115 Vac (for back-up purposes).
The CN4 card nest supports the complete Crocus range.
For more information on the CN4 card nest, refer to the CN4 manual.
1.5 Management overview
The Crocus CNV is manageable in many different ways. This section gives a quick overview of the
various management possibilities.
EasyConnect terminal
Connecting the OneAccess EasyConnect hand-held terminal over a serial connection (i.e. through the
control connector) to the Crocus CNV, allows you to manage the Crocus CNV in a basic way using the
EasyConnect its keyboard.
CLI and ATWIN
Connecting a VT100 terminal (emulation program) over a serial connection (i.e. through the control
connector) to the Crocus CNV, you can evoke the following onboard management applications:
• CLI. The Command Line Interface allows you to manage the Crocus CNV through a text based
interface.
• ATWIN. This is a basic, menu-driven user interface.
TMA and TMA CLI
Connecting your computer over a serial connection (i.e. through the control connector) to the Crocus
CNV, you can use the following management applications:
• TMA. The Total Maintenance Application is a free management application for Windows. It allows you
to manage the Crocus CNV using a user friendly GUI.
To find out more about TMA, refer to the TMA manual.
• TMA CLI. This is an advanced Command Line Interface with extra scripting capabilities.
To find out more about TMA CLI, refer to the TMA CLI manual.

Crocus CNV Introduction
User manual 7
Management concentrator
Connecting the Crocus CNV to a management concentrator (e.g. the Orchid 1003 LAN or 1035 Orchid)
offers the following possibilities:
• Using the management concentrator as an IP proxy agent, you have the possibility to connect to the
Crocus CNV over an IP network. In that case you can establish an IP connection with the Crocus CNV
and run TMA, TMA CLI or the Web Interface over this connection. Using Telnet, you can also run
ATWIN and CLI.
For more information on how to use the management concentrator as an IP proxy agent, refer to the
manual of the management concentrator.
• Using the management concentrator as an SNMP proxy agent, you can manage the Crocus CNV
through SNMP.
For more information on how to use the management concentrator as an SNMP proxy agent, refer to
the manual of the management concentrator.
• The management concentrator allows you to manage the Crocus CNV with TMA for HP OpenView,
the OneAccess integrated management application that runs on the HP OpenView platform.
To find out more about TMA for HP OpenView, refer to the TMA for HP OpenView manual.

2.1 Safety instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Unplug the unit from the wall power outlet (TT) or remove it from the card nest (CV) before installing,
adjusting or servicing.
The safety of this product depends upon the third pin (ground pin) of the 3-wire grounding type plug. Do
not defeat this safety feature. If the power outlet at your site only has 2 pins, please consult a qualified
electrician.
ACHTUNG! WICHTIGE SICHERHEITSINSTRUKTIONEN
Vor sämtlichen Arbeiten am Gerät (Installation, Einstellungen, Reparaturen etc.) sollten Sie den
Netzstecker aus der Steckdose ziehen.
Die Sicherheit dieses Gerätes ist abhängig von dem dritten Kontakt (dem Erdungspin) des 3-poligen
Steckers. Beachten Sie unbedingt diese Sicherheitsstandard. Sollten Sie nur eine ältere 2-polige
Steckdose zur Verfügung haben, lassen Sie diese von einem Elektriker gegen eine 3-polige Steckdose
auswechseln.
SAFETY WARNING
