11.1OVERVIEW

This section defines the user menu system presented to a user connected to the CiM via a Terminal Emulator or telnet. In the process of configuring each parameter, an overview of the parameter and its impact on the configuration of the CiM is provided.

When connecting via a Terminal Emulator, the user should be physically attached to the Console Port of the CiM. The terminal emulator should be configured to match the console port setting . The default console port setting is 38,400 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no flow control.

When connecting via telnet, the user should be physically attached to the Ethernet Port of the CiM. The Ethernet Speed Mode is a configurable parameter of the CiM and thus its exact setting can very between specific installations. The default setting allows the Ethernet port to auto negotiate its link speed on power-up.

The CiM does not allow concurrent access to the menu via telnet and the console port. If a user connects via telnet, CiM automatically disables the console port for the duration of the telnet session.
