Section 1: Accessing the Station Manager
The Station Manager on the Ethernet Inter face can be accessed in three primary ways:
1. Through the 9–pin serial port on the Ethernet Interface by a GEnet System Manager
(GSM) in Local Station Manager Mode or by an ASCII terminal. See Figure 5-1.
2. Directly over the Ethernet network by a GSM in Network Station Manager Mode.
See Figure 5-2.
3. Remotely over the Ethernet network via another Ethernet Interface with an attached GSM
in Local Station Manager Mode or by an ASCII ter minal. This method requires the use
of the REM (Remote) command to access the remo te station. See Figure 5-3.
