The control port is the middle RS-232 connector on the ASC line module. The connector is an RS-232
DB-25 (female). For this t y pe of c onnectivity, the control terminal (P C o r wo rkstation) must support
TCP/IP using a SLIP serial connection. The control port must have been previously configured with an
IP address. The control termina l c an be connected either locally o r re m o tel y usi ng m o d ems . W h en

perform a Tel net login to the ports IP address.
The LAN port on the ASC is an Ethernet AUI port, and supports the same Telnet connections and
user interface prompt as the Control port.
The control and LAN ports support Telnet (for CLI), TFTP, and SNMP sessions as indicated in
Table3-1. Use of the control port is shown in Figure3-2.
If there are multiple devices to be c onfigured, a terminal server that can dial out to multiple devices
can be used. Figure 3-3 illustrat es a possible scenario for term in al ser ver c on tro l port access.
