3. Connect the other end of the interface cable to a terminal (in some
instances, an adapter may be required to make this connection).
4. From your terminal, start the terminal emulation program.
5. Configure the terminal to the following communication settings:
VT100 emulation, 19200 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no
flow control, ASCII character set.
Remote Management via the Console Port
Configure the Switch Site - Connect the Management Module’s DB-9
serial port to the modem’s serial port using standard cabling. For most
modems using a 25-pin port, you will have to provide an RS-232 cable
with a 9-pin connector on one end and a 25-pin connection on the other
end. You do not have to set the modem at the switch’s site, because the
switch will automatically configure it to auto-answer mode.
Configure the Remote Site - At the remote site, connect the PC’s COM
port (COM 1-4) to the modem’s serial port. Set terminal emulation type to
VT100, specify the port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1-4), then set
communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, 19200 bps, and no
flow control.
In-Band Connections
Prior to accessing the Management Module via a network connection, you
must configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway using an out-of-band connection or the BootP protocol.
Telnet Connection - Prior to accessing the Management Module via an
in-band Telnet connection, you must configure it with a valid IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway using an out-of-band connection or the
BootP protocol. After configuring the switch’s IP parameters, you can
access the on-board configuration program from anywhere within the
attached network
.
In-Band Network Connection - The on-board configuration program can
be accessed using Telnet from any computer attached to the network.
The switch and stack can also be managed by any computer using a Web
browser (Internet Explorer 4.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or
above), or from a network computer using third-party network
management software.
The Management Module must first be configured to
issue BootP requests, since the default is BootP
disabled. Refer to the Management Guide for more
information.
