Figure 5-2. Ethernet connection to a workstation
To connect a management workstation to the APX 1000 using an indirect Ethernet connection:
1
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet RJ-48 port on the shelf controller.
2
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the local LAN.
3
Ensure that the management workstation has connectivity to the LAN on which the unit
resides.
4
Ensure the Ethernet transceivers are connected properly to the network.
Connecting a dial-in backup management connection
Lucent Technologies recommends that you provision dial-up or some other access to each unit
for backup administrative access. Dial-up access to an APX 1000 unit requires a properly
configured external modem connected to the CONTROL port on the shelf controller.
To configure a backup administrative connection with an external modem, connect the modem
to the APX 1000 serial (CONTROL) port via a null modem (crossover) cable. In addition, you
might need a DB-25-to-DB-9 adapter. Figure 5-3 shows the backup administrative connection
via a modem to the APX 1000 unit.
