Allied Telesis X8106 manual Local Out-of-Band Management Session

Chapter 9: Troubleshooting

Local (Out-of-Band) Management Session

If you are unable to establish a local (out-of-band) management session with the switch through the Console RS-232 port on the active master controller card, do the following:

Check to be sure that the RJ-45 serial management cable is securely connected to the Console RS-232 port on the active master controller card and the RS-232 port on the terminal or personal computer.

If the chassis has two controller cards, verify that the management cable is connected to the console port on the active master controller card by examining the M/S LEDs on the cards. The LEDs are solid green on the active master controller card and solid or flashing amber on the standby master controller card.

Check to be sure that the operating parameters on the terminal or the terminal emulation program, if you are using a personal computer, have been set correctly. The default settings for the RJ- 45 serial terminal port are located in “Using Local Management to Verify the Chassis” on page 184.

Check to be sure that the terminal emulator application is compatible with a VT-100 terminal.
