Chapter 5: Local Management

5.3.3Telnet Connections

Once the 2M46-04R has a valid IP address, a Telnet session with Local Management can be established from any TCP/IP based station on the network. Telnet connections to the 2M46-04R require the passwords assigned at the SNMP Community Names screen. For additional information about these passwords, refer to Section 5.8. Refer to the instructions included with the Telnet application for information about establishing a Telnet session.

5.3.4Connecting an Uninterruptible Power Supply

If the 2M46-04R is connected to an American Power Conversion (APC) Uninterruptible (UPS) device for power, a connection from the

2M46-04R 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 local management screen, General Configuration, as described in Section 5.7.10. Refer to the UPS documentation for details on how to access the status information.

Use the Console Cable Kit provided with the 2M46-04R to attach the UPS to the 2M46-04R COM port as shown in Figure 5-2.

Connect the UPS device to the COM port of the 2M46-04R as follows:

1.Connect the RJ45 connector at one end of the cable to the COM port on the 2M46-04R.

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).
