In-Band &	Configuration of the 7600 Card can be performed via an Administration
Out-of-Band	Console or an SNMP-based external network management application
Management	running on a workstation.
	There are two ways of managing the 7600 Card:
	Q In-band, using virtual terminal protocols or SNMP network manager
	protocol. Each SNMP network manager has its own user interface to
	the management facilities.
	Q Out-of-band, by connecting a VT100 terminal (or a PC with terminal
	emulation software) to the serial port on the CELLplex 7000 unit in
	which the 7600 Card is installed. The VT100 management interface,
	which is a menu-driven user interface built into the 7600 Card, is
	used. This management interface provides many of the same features
	as SNMP management.
