installation has failed.
6.
Secure the SFB in its slot by hand tightening the two fastening screws on each end of the
blade's front panel.
7.
Repeat these steps if you are installing a second SFB in the remaining hub slot. Installing two
SFBs on the chassis allows for redundancy which is a means of providing continuous system
functionality even if a failure occurs on one of the SFBs.
Connecting to an External Computer and Network
The SFB can be accessed by an external computer through the serial and the Ethernet
maintenance ports. Use the serial port to perform diagnostic and verification procedures. Use the
Ethernet maintenance port to connect the SFB to the network and to perform configuration
procedures.
Note
If two SFBs are installed, connect to each one separately.
Connecting to the Serial Port
1.
Connect the included serial port cable by plugging one end into the RJ-45 serial port
labeled LMP SER on the SFB (see illustration Figure 6.7, “SFB Serial and Ethernet Ports”
below).
2.
Connect the cable's other end to the COM1 or the COM2 serial port of an external computer,
such as a laptop.
3.
Start a terminal-emulator application, such as Procomm Plus® or minicom, on your
computer or laptop. The connection parameters are:
•
Speed 115200 baud.
•
8 data bits
•
No parity
•
One stop bit
•
No hardware or software flow control.
