Connecting the Interface Manager Card to the LAN
To connect the Interface Manager card to the LAN, connect a standard RJ-45
Ethernet cable from the LAN to the Ethernet port labeled “Network” on the
Interface Manager card.

Connecting the PC or Laptop
To prepare for the configuration procedure, you must directly connect the
Interface Manager card to the management station (or any other PC or laptop) to
configure the network IP address of the Interface Manager card. The network
configuration for the PC or laptop that you use to connect to the Interface
Manager card must be set to use DHCP.
Connect the PC or laptop to the Interface Manager card using one of the following
methods:
■ Telnet method—uses a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable to connect the network
port of the PC or laptop to the cascade port of the Interface Manager card.
After connecting, Telnet into the cascade port to obtain the network IP address
of the Interface Manager card (see Getting or Setting the Interface Manager IP
Address for detailed instructions). This is the preferred method because it uses
a standard network cable and requires less configuration.
■ Serial method—uses a special serial cable (included with the Interface
Manager card) to connect the serial port of the PC or laptop to the 3-pin serial
port of the Interface Manager card. This method requires a terminal emulation
program to obtain the network IP address of the Interface Manager card (see
Getting or Setting the Interface Manager IP Address for detailed instructions).
