2.5 CONNECTING THE LOCAL CONSOLE MANAGER
The Local Console Manager (LCM) is a command-line interface for
configuring, monitoring, and managing the ELS10-26 through the
out-of-band RS232C connection on the front panel.
To connect the LCM:
1. Connect your ASCII terminal or terminal emulator to the out-
of-band management RS232C port on the front panel of the
ELS10-26 using the standard RJ-45 twisted pair cable shipped
with the unit. (Only three wires are necessary: Receive Data,
Transmit Data and Ground.)
2. Set the terminal to 9600 baud, 8N1: 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and
no parity, XON/XOFF flow control.
3. Press the Enter key several times. If the ELS10-26 and terminal
are operational, LCM responds with the ELS10-26 > prompt.
4. LCM is now ready to use.
Refer to Section 1.6, Local Console Manager for a general
overview of LCM and the command syntax. LCM commands for
configuring, monitoring, and managing the ELS10-26 are provided
in the chapters dealing with those topics.
2.6 CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK
This section provides the procedures for connecting UTP and
multimode fiber optic segments from the network or other devices
to the ELS10-26.
Ports 1 through 26 have RJ45 connectors for UTP connections. Port
27 supports FE-100TX or FE-100FX Fast Ethernet Interface
Modules. The FE-100TX has an RJ45 connector for a UTP cable
connection. The FE-100FX has an SC style MMF connector.
Refer to Section 2.6.1to make UTP connections.
Refer to Section 2.6.2 to make a UTP connection to an FE-100TX.
