Chapter 5: Local Management

5.3.3Telnet Connections

Once the 2H28-08R has a valid IP address, the user can establish a Telnet session with Local Management from any TCP/IP based node on the network. Telnet connections to the 2H28-08R require the community name passwords assigned at the SNMP Community Names screen of the 2H28-08R.

For information about setting the IP address, refer to Section 5.7.

For information about assigning community names, refer to Section 5.8.

Refer to the instructions included with your Telnet application for information about establishing a Telnet session.

5.3.4Monitoring an Uninterruptible Power Supply

If the 2H28-08R is connected to an American Power Conversion Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) device for protection against the loss of power, a connection from the 2H28-08R COM port to the UPS can be made to monitor the power status of the UPS. To use the COM port for this purpose, it must be reconfigured to support the UPS connection using the procedure described in Section 5.7.10. Refer to the UPS documentation for details on how to access the status information.

The Console Cable Kit provided with the 2H28-08R is used to attach the UPS to the 2H28-08R COM port as shown in Figure 5-2.

To connect the UPS device to the COM port of the 2H28-08R, proceed as follows:

1.Connect the RJ45 connector at one end of the cable to the COM port on the 2H28-08R.

2.Plug the RJ45 connector at the other end of the cable into the RJ45-to-DB9 male (UPS) adapter.

3.Connect the RJ45-to-DB9 male (UPS) adapter to the female DB9 port on the rear of the UPS device (see the particular UPS device’s user instructions for more specific information about the monitoring connection).
