20 Installation ELH100-12/24TX
2. Connectone end of the interface cable directly to the Agent Module’s
consoleport and tighten the retaining screws.
3. Connectthe other end of the interface cable to a terminal (in some
instances,an adapter may be required to make this connection).
4. Fromyour terminal, start the terminal emulation program.
5. Configurethe terminal to the following communication settings:
VT100emulation, 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit,no flow
control,ASCII character set.
Remote Management via the Console Port
Configurethe Hub Site - Connect the Agent Module’s DB-9 serial port
tothe modem’s serial port using standard cabling. For most modems
usinga 25-pin port, you will have to provide an RS-232cable with a 9-pin
connectoron one end and a 25-pin connection on the other end. You do
nothave to set the modem at the hub’s site, because the hub will
automaticallyconfigure it to auto-answer mode.
Configurethe Remote Site - At the remote site, connect the PC’s COM
port(COM 1~4) to the modem’s serial port. Set terminal emulationtype to
VT100,specify the port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1~4), then set
communicationsto 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, noparity, 9600 bps, and no flow
control.
In-Band Connections
Priorto accessing the Agent Module via a network connection, you must
configureit with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway
usingan out-of-band connection or the BOOTP protocol.
TelnetConnection - Prior to accessing the Agent Module via an in-band
Telnetconnection, you must configure it with a valid IP address, subnet
mask,and default gateway using an out-of-band connection or the
BOOTPprotocol. After configuring the hub’s IP parameters, you can
accessthe on-board configuration program from anywhere within the
attachednetwork.
In-BandNetwork Connection - The on-board configuration programcan
beaccessed using Telnet from any computer attached to the network.
Thehub and stack can also be managed by any computer using a web
browser(Internet Explorer 3.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator 3.0 or
above),or from a network computer using third-party network
managementsoftware.
TheAgent Module will automatically issue BOOTP re-
questsif the IP addressis set to "0.0.0.0".BOOTP i s
