3.7Optionally Configuring SNMP Network Management at Attached Terminal

To set SNMP management parameters through an attached terminal:

Connect the StackMaster™TR 16-Port to an ASCII terminal or terminal emulator

Bring up the StackMaster™TR 16-Port configuration software

Reset the StackMaster™TR 16-Port

Set Network and SNMP parameter values.

Connecting to ASCII Terminal

NOTE: The DB9 serial port on the StackMaster™TR 16-Port is a DTE device. If the DB9 serial port cable will be attached directly between two DTE devices, use a null modem cable. If the cable will be attached to a 9600 baud modem, use a straight through DB9 cable.

To ASCII Terminal

1.Locate the correct DB9 serial port cable with female DB9 connector.

2.Attach the DB9 serial port female cable connector to the male DB9 serial port connector on the StackMaster™TR 16-Port .

3.Attach the other end of the DB9 serial port cable (directly or indirectly through a modem) to an ASCII terminal or terminal emulator.

NOTE: The StackMaster™TR 16-Port is shipped with standard serial port parameter values:
