5.1 Serial Console Interface

After the network management (NM) module is installed, power up the chassis and attach the serial RS-232 cable to the PC or terminal device. Configuring terminal emulation software on the PC is beyond the scope of this document. The components below may be ordered from MRV.

•Adapter (part number 350-0308 REV-B MRG/20028-2)

• Cable (part number 151-3028 REV-F AI 04/04)

The NM has at least one Ethernet port, which is typically used to connect to a Local Area Network (LAN). The factory default IP address is 192.168.14.201 with netmask 255.255.255.0, sometimes written as 192.168.14.201/24 to show the 24 bits masked for subnetting. The default gateway address is 192.168.14.1/24.

From the network, connect to the NM IP address using telnet or SSH (secure shell) to open the command line interface (CLI). Telnet services are disabled by default on the EM316LNXNM-OT, but they may be enabled for additional CLI access.

Each NM has an RS-232 interface that is used for serial communications to the CLI. This connection is recommended for network setup. Besides configuration simplicity, it offers the advantage of “out-of-band” management for greater network autonomy.

Configure the EM316LNXNM-OT RS-232 serial parameters with the following values.

	•	• 38400 baud
RS-232	•	• 8 data bits
Serial Port	•	• 1 stop bit
Parameters	•	• no parity

• • no flow control
