Out of Band Operation
Overview
In case the LAN that the PN7212 / PN7320 resides on goes down, or the
PN7212 / PN7320 cannot be accessed with the usual browser based method for
some other reason, the PN7212 / PN7320 can be accessed via Out of Band
methods utilizing the PN7212 / PN7320's Console and Modem ports in the
following ways:
For a console terminal session, connect the PN7212 / PN7320’s Console
port (see PON In / Console Port, page 10), to the COM port of a local
computer. You can then operate the PN7212 / PN7320 from the local
computer's console terminal (HyperTerminal, GTKTerminal, etc.).
For a modem session, connect the PN7212 / PN7320’s Modem port (see
Modem Port, page 10), to a modem, then use an ISP internet connection to
access the PN7212 / PN7320. With this method, when you log in you open
a browser session that is the same as if you had logged in directly over a
LAN or WAN.
Console Terminal Session
This section describes how to establish a console terminal session using
HyperTerminal as an example, as follows:
1. Use Cat 5e cable to connect the PN7212 / PN7320’s PON IN/Console port
to the SA0151 (DTE) adapter supplied with your package. Connect the
adapter to the COM port of the computer you will use for the console
terminal.
