Setting Up a Configuration Console in SLIP Mode
The procedure that follows sets up the configuration console in SLIP mode and logs you on as the
system administrator with full access to all ATM Workgroup Switch commands.
Note: A typical workstation includes two serial ports (COM1, COM2):
Ÿ One dedicated to an ASCII-terminal emulator,
Ÿ
The other dedicated to an IP stack and supported via the SLIP protocol.
Both ports are needed for this procedure.
1
Connect your workstation to the RS-232 console port on the front panel of the Base Unit
from the ‘ASCII-terminal’ serial port.
2
Configure the terminal in Normal mode and logon as administrator as described in “Setting
Up a Configuration Console in Normal (ASCII) Mode” on page 77.
3
If a data transmission rate other than 9600 is required, use the SET TERMINAL BAUD
command to configure a data transmission rate.

Unplug the cable from the ‘ASCII-terminal’ serial port and plug it into the ‘IP-stack’ serial port
of your workstation.
Note: If no activity takes place for a period of 20 minutes, the console automatically returns
to Normal mode.
