Using a Modem Connection with HP Stack
Manager
(To set up a modem connection with the ASCII console, see chapter 2 in
the manual accompanying the Ethernet SNMP Module.)
N o t e
This option requires that an HP Ethernet SNMP Module (HP J2603A or
B) be installed in the hub to which you are connecting the modem.
You will need two modems, one connected to the hub (the “remote
modem”) and the other to the PC (the “local modem”).
The modems that have been tested for use with the HP AdvanceStack
hubs are all listed in the modem configuration screens in HP Stack
Manager. You just have to select the modem you are using from the list
and HP Stack Manager automatically provides the correct initialization
string.
The basic steps to connect the hub to HP Stack Manager with a modem
link are:
1. Connect the modem that will be used on the hub to your PC’s serial
port and configure the modem by using the “Remote Modem” initiali-
zation screen from the “Settings” menu in HP Stack Manager.
2. Connect the remote modem to the RS-232 port on the front of the
hub using a standard “straight-through” modem cable. For pinouts
and recommended cables, see appendix A, “Cables and Connectors”.)
The cable included with the hub will not work for connecting a
modem to the hub.
