Directly, Using A Serial Cable and a Terminal

To directly connect a terminal to a hub, follow these steps:

1.Connect an ASCII terminal, or a PC emulating an ASCII terminal, to the RS-232 port using an RS-232-C “null modem” cable. (For pin-outs and recommended cables see Appendix A, “Cables and Connectors”.)

2.Switch on the terminal’s power (or switch on the PC’s power and start the terminal emulation program). Configure the terminal for 8 bits per char- acter, 1 stop bit, no parity, Xon/Xoff handshaking, and a baud rate of 38400, 19200, 9600, 4800, 2400, or 1200.

3.Press [Enter] several times for the => or Password prompt. The baud rate for communication between the hub and the terminal is set automatically when you press [Enter].

Remotely, Using Telnet

The HP Hub-16M supports a Telnet console session. Your Telnet syntax depends on your TCP/IP software or your terminal server. By default, Telnet is enabled. You can disable Telnet by using the IPconfig console command described on page 3-7.

To establish a Telnet session, follow these steps:

1.Verify that the hub has been configured with an IP address, and that it is accessible via IP from your PC or workstation.

2.Enter the command telnet followed by the IP address or system name of the hub, for example:

telnet 192.1.1.10

or

telnet your_hub

(Your Telnet syntax depends on your TCP/IP software or your terminal server. You can use a system name if you have name resolution such as DNS.)

To end the Telnet session, type DI (the DIsconnect command) to terminate the console session. Or use your Telnet application’s command to close or quit the Telnet session.
