Problems When Using Quick Config Manager

You cannot access the hub. For a successful local management connection, you need to use a standard null modem cable, and have the hub’s console port set to 9600 baud (or autoconfiguration enabled), the serial connection type set to ‘Terminal’, and the flow control set to ‘NONE’. These are the default settings. For information on the console port settings, see “Connecting a Modem to the Console Port” on page 5-13.

You forget your community string. Log in to the hub using VT100, and use the Edit User screen to view your community string, see “Editing Users” on page 5-18.

Problems When Using VT100

The initial VT100 Main Banner screen does not display. Check that your terminal or terminal emulator is correctly configured to operate as a VT100 terminal.

For console port access, check you have performed the wake-up procedure correctly, by pressing [Return][Return].

Check the settings on your terminal or emulator. The parity must be set to ‘none’, the stop bit ‘1’ and the character size ‘8’. The management facility’s autoconfiguration works only with speeds from 1200 to 19200 baud.

Check that autoconfiguration is not disabled.

If you still cannot access the hub, reset the hub using Quick Config Manager, see “Resetting the Hub” on page 4-11, and retry the wake-up procedure. If this does not work, initialize the hub.

Screens are incorrectly displayed. Check that your terminal or terminal emulator is correctly configured to operate as a VT100 terminal.
