CHAPTER 10: Using Management and Serial Control Cards
10.4.7TRANSFER SECURITY LOG
To connect the Management Card to an IBM PC/AT or PS/2 compatible computer, you will need a PC/AT style
When you select option 8 at the System Management Tools Main Menu, you will be asked to configure the Management Card’s serial port, as shown below: Either accept the default port settings or toggle among the different available values. (The receiving computer’s serial port must be configured the same way.) Then enter or accept the date and time of the first log record you want to transfer, and the log transfer will begin (make sure the terminal emulator is running on the receiving computer at this point). The data will be formatted the same way it is in the Log Window of the Management Card’s Security Monitor (see Section 10.5.3). Each line of ASCII text ends with
