2.Connect the other end to any LX-Series port you have configured as a power management port.

You must change the port’s “access” to “power model ir5250” before performing any control and monitoring. Use the following command, in the Async Port Configure Mode, to configure asynchronous port 1 as a 5250 port:

Async 1-1:0>>access power model ir5250

After the 5250 is enabled, you can check its status with the following command:

InReach:0>> show port async 1 status

3.You can also control and monitor the 5250 remotely through the LX CLI. See the LX-Series Commands Reference Guide for a detailed explanation of the commands used to configure and view your 5250 through the CLI interface. See Chapter 3 for details on how to access the GUI interface.
