CONFIGURING A CONSOLE CABLE

4.2CONFIGURING A CONSOLE CABLE

This section outlines the proper cable conﬁgurations for connecting the EMM-E6 to a Local Management terminal. For information on the appropriate pinouts, refer to Appendix A of this User’s Guide.

You need the following hardware (supplied with your EMM-E6) to connect the EMM-E6 to a terminal:

•an RS232 cable

•an adapter

•a device cable

The adapter you use depends on whether you connect to LM from a VT series terminal, or a VT-emulating PC. Read the information included with the cable kit to make sure you are using the right adapter.

To conﬁgure the cables:

1.Plug a straight-through twisted pair cable (e.g., an RS232 cable) into the EMM-E6 RJ45 COM 2 Port.

NOTE

Do not attempt to utilize the COM 1 port for Local Management, as the COM 1 port is intended to be used for monitoring an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). The method for configuring the COM 1 port for this purpose is described later in this chapter.

2.Plug the other end of the RS232 cable into the adapter.

3.Connect the adapter into the device cable and plug the other end of the device cable into the terminal or terminal emulator. Detailed descriptions of this process for VT terminals or terminal-emulating PCs follow.
