Connecting the Local Console Manager
to a Terminal
The Local Console Manager (LCM) is a command-line interface
for configuring, monitoring, and managing the ELS100-16TX
through the out-of-band RS232C connection on the front panel.
To connect LCM:
1. Connect your VT series terminal or terminal emulator to the
out-of-band management RS232C port on the front panel of
the ELS100-16TX using the twisted pair cable with RJ45
connectors shipped with the unit. (Only three of the nine wires
are necessary: Receive Data, Transmit Data and ground.)
2. Set the terminal to 9600 baud, 8N1: 8 data bits, no parity, 1
stop bit, and no flow control.
3. Press the Enter key several times. If the ELS100-16TX is
operational, LCM responds with the
ELS100-16TX >
prompt.
LCM is now ready to use. Refer to the
SmartStack 100
ELS100-16TX User’s Guide
for an overview of LCM and the
command syntax. LCM commands for the ELS100-16TX are
provided in the User’s Guide in chapters dealing with those topics.
A complete list of LCM commands appears on the following pages.
