To connect a management workstation to the Stinger unit using an indirect Ethernet
connection:
1
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet RJ-48 port on the control module.
2
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the local LAN.
3
Ensure that the management workstation has connectivity to the LAN on which the unit
resides.
4
Ensure the Ethernet transceivers are connected properly to the network.
Connecting a dial-in backup management connection
Lucent Technologies recommends that you provision dial-up or some other access to
each unit for backup administrative access. Dial-up access to a Stinger unit equipped
with a revision 1 control module, a revision 2 model A control module, or a revision
2.1 model E control module, requires a properly configured
external
modem
connected to the DIAG port on the control module. Revision 2 control module
models B and C are equipped with an
internal
modem to support this type of backup
management connection.
Backup management with an external modem
To configure a backup administrative connection with an external modem, connect
the modem to the Stinger diagnostic port (DIAG PORT) with a null modem
(crossover) cable. In addition, you might need a DB-25-to-DB-9 adapter. Figure 5-3
shows the backup administrative connection with a modem to the Stinger unit.
