Making Connections for System Configuration

The switch includes a menu-driven configuration program. The ASCII interface to this program can be accessed by making a direct connection to the serial

port on the rear panel, or by a Telnet connection to the switch over the network. This section describes how to access the menu-driven configuration program via:

•

•

•

Onsite connection

A terminal or workstation connected to the serial port on the rear panel

Modem connection

A workstation connected to the serial port of a remote switch via modems

Telnet connection

A workstation connected to a remote switch via a Telnet connection

It also describes how to access the embedded Web agent over the network using any standard browser, or with AccView network management software or other third- party management software.

Onsite Connection

Attach a VT100 compatible terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program to the serial port on the switch’s rear panel. Use the null-modem cable provided with this package, or use a null modem connection that complies with the wiring assignments shown in the back of this guide.

When attaching to a PC, set terminal emulation type to VT100, specify the port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1~4), and then set communications to 8 data bits,

1 stop bit, no parity, and 19200 bps (for initial configuration). Also be sure to set both handshaking and flow control to “none.”

Modem Connection

Configure the Switch Site: Connect the switch’s DB-9 serial port to the modem’s serial port using standard cabling. For most modems, which use 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 connector 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), and then set communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, 19200 bps, and no flow control.
