Stinger® FS/Stinger FS+ Getting Started Guide
Configuring Control Modules and System Timing
Administrative connections
will allow you to perform basic configuration for all control modules, including
IP2000 and IP2100 IP control modules. This basic configuration will provide remote
administrative access for configuring the complete capabilities of the unit.
Administrative connections
The serial port of a Stinger unit’s primary (or single) control module is used for initial
configuration from a console device. The port can also be configured to connect to a
modem to provide dial-in administrative access to the unit. Revision 2 control
module models B and C contain an internal modem, configured by default for
autoanswer. On these models, you need only to connect the RJ-11 modem jack to
the telephone line and then call in to the Stinger unit for an administrative
connection.
Once the Stinger unit has been configured with an IP address, it can be reached on
the IP network via a Telnet connection. The following information provides details of
these connection methods.
Serial connection to a console
Figure 5-1 shows a cable connection from a Stinger FS or Stinger FS+ to a console
terminal.
Figure 5-1. Serial management connection to a Stinger FS or Stinger FS+
To connect the console terminal to the Stinger unit, connect one end of a shielded
straight-through cable to the diagnostic port (DIAG PORT) on the control module.
Then connect the other end of the cable to the serial port on the console device.
The diagnostic port on the control module consists of a female DB-9 connector.
Examine the serial connector of your PC or dumb terminal to ensure that your
shielded straight-through cable has the proper connectors. If needed, you can use
DB-9-to-DB-25 converters or gender converters to complete this connection.
See Appendix B, “Cables and Connectors,” for detailed information about the pinouts
on the console serial port.
