Chapter 3. Accessing the IBM 2212
This chapter explains how to access, either locally or remotely, the IBM 2212’s
operational and configuration software. The network administrator or the IBM
Support Center can access the IBM 2212 locally or remotely for configuration or
diagnostics.
Access Methods
The IBM 2212 software must be configured as part of the installation process.
Therefore, you have to access the software in one of the following ways:
¹
Remote dial-in (using telephone lines) through a modem attached to the
EIA-232 service port using an ASCII or Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP)
connection. See Figure 3-2 on page 3-2. “Modem Settings” on page 3-3 lists
the modems that have been tested for use with the IBM 2212.
SLIP is a method for sending IP packets, instead of ASCII data, across a serial
link. (You cannot use SLIP to access the bootstrap menus.)
¹
Locally through a null-modem adapter and serial cables supplied with this
product that are attached to the EIA-232 service port using an ASCII or SLIP
connection. See Figure 3-1 on page 3-2.

An ASCII connection requires an ASCII terminal or a workstation running an ASCII
terminal emulator. SLIP requires that Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) that supports SLIP be running on your workstation.
Once the IBM 2212 is up and running in the network, you can access the IBM 2212
by Telnetting from a network-connected workstation that is attached to any of the
IBM 2212’s IP-capable network interfaces. The network interface could be on a
LAN adapter or WAN adapter since all of them support IP routing. The Telnet
workstation could be locally or remotely connected.
