Setting up the ASCII Console

Remotely, Using a Modem and a Terminal

1.Use a full-duplex, asynchronous (character-mode) modem only.

2.Connect the modem to the hub’s RS-232 port using an RS-232-C modem cable. (For pin-outs and recommended cables see Appendix A, “Cables and Connectors”.)

3.Configure the modem as described in the Appendix C, “Modem Configuration.”

4.At the remote site, connect the terminal (or PC emulating a terminal) to the remote modem. Make sure the terminal and modems are functioning properly, then establish the link between the terminal’s modem and the hub’s modem according to the modem instructions.

5.Press [Enter] several times for the => or Password prompt. The baud rate for communication between the hub and the modem is set automatically when you press [Enter].

Starting the Console

The console session starts with a display similar to the following (the actual version numbers may be different):

HP J3188A Hub-16M

ROM A.01.00

EEPROM A.01.00

HW A.01.00

Use console commands for hub configuration.

Enter password:

If a password has not been assigned with the PAssword command, then you are not prompted for your password here.

If a console session is currently active, then you are prompted to break the current active console session.

A console session is currently active.

Do you want to break in? (Y/[N]) Y
