6. Managing with a Terminal

The first option for managing the Black Box® LB1351A Traffic Aggregator is by using a terminal emulation program. In order to do this you will need a PC (or a terminal) with a terminal emulation program.

Connect the serial cable supplied with the Black Box® LB1351A between the device (miniDIN side) and a serial port on the PC with the terminal emulation (on the DB9 side). Start the emulation program and reset the device (recommended).

After system initialization you will get to the device’s main menu.

The main menu

This menu contains a header with the software version, the model of the device (LB1351A ) and the vendor Black Box.

Following is a two-option menu. See figure 6-1.

Selecting option 1 will invoke the device’s status menu, while option 2 will bring up the device control menu.
