Managing the Hub

Setting up the ASCII Console

Remotely, Using a Modem and a Terminal

1.Use a full-duplex, asynchronous (character-mode) modem only.

2.Connect the modem to the hub’s RS-232 port using an RS-232-C modem cable. (For pin-outs and recommended cables see Appendix A, “Cables and Connectors”.)

3.Configure the modem as described in the Appendix C, “Modem Configuration.”

4.At the remote site, connect the terminal (or PC emulating a terminal) to the remote modem. Make sure the terminal and modems are functioning properly, then establish the link between the terminal’s modem and the hub’s modem according to the modem instructions.

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