that the power-up diagnostics sequence is complete.

selected status condition is present.
2.4 CONNECTING THE LOCAL CONSOLE MANAGER
The Local Console Manager (LCM) is a command-line interface for
configuring, monitoring, and managing the FN100 through the
out-of-band RS232C connection on the front panel.
To connect LCM:
1. Connect your ASCII terminal or terminal emulator to the out-of-band
management RS232C port on the front panel of the FN100 using the
console cable kit or a standard 9-pin serial cable. (Only three of the
nine wires are necessary: Receive Data, Transmit Data, and Ground.)
2. Set the terminal to 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
3. Press the Enter key several times. If the FN100 is operational, LCM
responds with the following prompt:
FN100 >
LCM is now ready to use.
NOTE
If the Ready LED does not stay on, contact Cabletron Systems
Technical Support. Refer to Chapter 1, Section 1.1, Getting
Help.
NOTE
For your convenience, a male DB-9 to DB-25 converter is
included in the FN100 shipping carton. You may need the
converter when connecting to your ASCII terminal or to your
terminal emulator.
