Fast EtherHub 3500 System User’s Guide
4-6 Configuring the System
The physical setup and connections required for on-board
management are described in greater detail at the beginning of
this chapter. To open the Fast EtherHub 3500 System
Configuration Program, do the following:
1. Activate the Fast EtherHub 3500 System Configuration
Program from a local console, via Telnet, or via modem
connection as described below.
From a local console -
Be sure you have already run a cable from your terminal or
PC’s Com port to the serial port on the target hub as described
earlier in this chapter. When connecting a PC to the hub, use
a terminal emulation package to connect to the specific Com
port that is attached to the hub. Configure the connection for
9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity bits, 1 stop bit, and no flow
control. Also be sure the modem is configured to force DSR
signals. Then open the connection.
From a telnet connection -
Telnet into the target hub using its assigned IP address.
From a remote modem connection -
When telneting into the hub, be
sure the telnet application has
disabled Windows cursor control.
If you are using Microsoft Telnet,
this can be accomplished by
selecting “VT100 Arrows” from the
Terminal Options menu.
Be sure you have attached a modem to both your local PC
and the remote hub as described earlier in this chapter. Use
a terminal emulation package to connect to the Com port
that is attached to the modem. Configure the connection for
9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity bits, and 1 stop bit. Then
dial in to the hub.
If the screen is blank, press the <Enter> key several times
until the the login screen appears. If diagnostic messages
indicate a failure, refer to Troubleshooting in Appendix A.
Once the connection has been properly established, the login
screen for the on-board configuration program should appear.
