3Com 5102B-EE Connecting a Terminal, Bridge Module Default Terminal Settings

Connecting a Terminal

You access Bridge Module management through the management interface - the RS-232 port on the front of the module. You can connect any device that presents an ASCII asynchronous interface, including terminals, PCs capable of terminal emulation, and modems.

Note: If the concentrator has an installed network management module, you can use the REMOTE_ LOGIN command to link to the Bridge Module to perform bridge management.

Refer to the appropriate ONline Management Module Installation and Operation Guide for information on remote management.

For proper operation you need to make sure the terminal and Bridge Module are communicating at the same baud rate before connecting them. The Bridge Module has been factory-set to 9600 baud. You must initially configure your terminal to a 9600 baud rate so it can communicate with the module. Consult your terminal's user guide for instructions on how to set its baud rate. In addition, you must configure the terminal's parity, number of data bits, and stop bits to the Bridge Module factory defaults as shown in Table 2-5.
