LOCAL MANAGEMENT

5.1MANAGEMENT TERMINAL REQUIREMENTS

To access TRXI Local Management, you need either:

a Digital Equipment Corporation VT series terminal

a VT type terminal running emulation programs for the Digital Equipment Corporation VT series

an IBM or compatible PC running a VT series emulation software package.

5.1.1Attaching the Management Terminal

Cabletron supplies an RJ45 Cable Kit with the TRXI. This kit includes a UTP console cable with RJ45 connectors on each end. It also provides adapters for DB9 or DB25 connections. Refer to the RJ45 Cable Kit Instruction Sheet for adapter pinouts and additional instructions.

To attach the management terminal to the TRXI’s COM 1 port:

1.Attach the male RJ45 connector to the COM 1 port of the TRXI as shown in Figure 5-1.

2.Attach the female end (25-pin or 9-pin, as applicable) to the COM port on the terminal.
