Also, certain error messages are sent to the serial port, regardless of the interface through which the associated action was initiated. A Macintosh or PC attachment can use any terminal- emulation program for connecting to the terminal serial port. A workstation attachment under UNIX can use an emulator such as TIP.
4.2.2 Modem Access
You can access the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch’s administration console from a PC or Macintosh using an external modem attached to the console port. The Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch management program provides a Console Port screen, accessible from the Basic Management screen that lets you configure parameters for modem access.
When you have configured the external modem from the administration console, the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch transmits characters that you have entered as output on the modem port. The Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch echoes characters that it receives as input on the modem port to the current administration console session. The console appears to be directly connected to the external modem.
4.3 Web Management
The Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch provides a browser interface that lets you configure and manage the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch remotely.
