Introducing the SMT

This chapter describes how to access the SMT and provides an overview of its menus.

18.1 Introduction to the SMT

The ZyXEL Device’s SMT (System Management Terminal) is a menu-driven interface that you can access from a terminal emulator through the console port or over a telnet connection. This chapter shows you how to access the SMT (System Management Terminal) menus, how to navigate the SMT and how to configure SMT menus.

18.2 Accessing the SMT via the Console Port

Use the console port to configure the ZyXEL Device via SMT menus. Connect the PS/2 connector of the console cable to the console port of the ZyXEL Device and the other end to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) on your computer.

When configuring using the console port, you need a computer equipped with communications software configured to the following parameters:

•VT100 terminal emulation.

•9600 Baud.

•No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, flow control set to none.

18.2.1Initial Screen

When you turn on your ZyXEL Device, it performs several internal tests.

After the tests, the ZyXEL Device asks you to press [ENTER] to continue, as shown next.
