Cabletron Systems 6H122-16 manual 15.10 describes how to set the Management Mode

General Configuration Screen

NOTE

When using the IP address of the module to establish a remote connection (such as a Telnet or SNMP connection), the chassis LM screens will not be available. To access the chassis LM screens, the IP address of the chassis must be used to establish the connection.

In STAND ALONE mode, the module is isolated from the chassis configuration screens, and the module may not be accessed from a module that is in DISTRIBUTED mode. This provides additional security for any module to which the user may wish to restrict access.

Section 5.15.10 describes how to set the Management Mode.

Com (Toggle)

This field allows the user to enable or disable the COM port. The selection toggles between ENABLED and DISABLED. The default is ENABLED. For details about setting up the COM port, refer to Section 5.15.11.

Application (Toggle)

Displays the application set for the COM port. This field allows you to set the application that the COM port will support, which includes the following:

•Local Management (LM) via a terminal or modem connection

•Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

The UPS setting allows you to use the COM port to monitor an American Power Conversion Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). For the UPS, the baud rate is automatically set to 2400.

The baud rate setting for LM is automatically sensed.

For details about how to configure the COM port for the various applications, refer to Section 5.15.11.

Clear NVRAM (Toggle)

This allows the user to reset NVRAM to the factory default settings. All user-entered parameters, such as IP address and Community Names are then replaced with 6H122-16 default configuration settings. For details, refer to Section 5.15.13.
