Ethernet SNMP Module Installation and Reference Guide ( J2603B) 1995-10

From the Console
You can connect a terminal to the hub’s console port in the following ways:
directly, using a serial cable and a terminal (or a PC using a terminal
emulator)
remotely, using Telnet
remotely, using a modem and a terminal
The HP AdvanceStack hubs support a single console session only. If a
console session is already running, a second console session can override
the console session.
Directly, Using A Serial Cable and a Terminal
To directly connect a terminal to a hub, follow these steps:
1. Connect an ASCII terminal, or a PC emulating an ASCII terminal, to
the console port using an RS-232-C “null modem” cable. (For pin-outs
and recommended cables see appendix A, “Cables and Connectors”
in the HP AdvanceStack 10Base-T Hubs Installation and Reference
Guide.)
2. Switch on the terminal’s power (or switch on the PC’s power and
start the terminal emulation program). Configure the terminal for 8
bits per character, 1 stop bit, no parity, Xon/Xoff handshaking, and a
baud rate of 38400, 19200, 9600, 4800, 2400, or 1200. If you are using a
PC running Windows, you can connect up to 19200 baud.
3. Press [Return] several times for the => or Password prompt. The baud
rate for communication between the hub and the terminal is set
automatically when you press [Return].
