When attaching to a PC, set terminal emulation type to VT100, specify the port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1~4), and then set communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and 19200 bps (for initial configuration).

Also be sure to set flow control to “none.” (Refer to “Configuring the Serial Port” on page 19 for a complete description of configuration options.)

Remote Management via the Console Port

Configure the Switch Site

Connect the Management Module’s DB9 serial port to the modem’s serial port using standard cabling. For most modems which use a 25-pin port, you will have to provide an RS232 cable with a 9-pin connector on one end and a 25-pin connector on the other end. Set the modem at the switch’s site to force auto-answer mode. The following is a sample initialization string: “ATQ1S0=1&D0&K0&W” as defined below:

Q1 : Inhibit result codes to DTE

S0=1 : Auto answer on first ring

D0 : Don’t care DTR

K0 : Disables DTE/DCE flow control

W: Write command to modem memory

Configure the Remote Site

At the remote site, connect the PC’s COM port (COM 1~4) to the modem’s serial port. Set terminal emulation type to VT100, specify the port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1~4), and then set communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, 19200 bps and no flow control.

In-Band Connections

Prior to accessing the Management Module via a network connection, you must first configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway using an out-of-band connection or the BootP protocol.

Telnet Connection

Prior to accessing the Management Module via an in-band Telnet connection, you must first configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway using an out-of-band connection or BootP protocol. After configuring the switch’s IP parameters, you can access the on-board configuration program from anywhere within the attached network.

Use the Network Configuration menu to specify the maximum number of simultaneous Telnet sessions that are supported by the system.
