APPENDIX B
CONNECTING A PC TO A BASE STATION
23
There are three ways to connect a personal computer to OpenSky Base Station equipment:
1. Direct connection to the RS-232 port of the device under test.
2. Direct connection to the Console Port of the Access Server and telnet to the device under test.
3. Direct connection to the Ethernet port of the Access Server and telnet to other devices.
Direct connection to any device is the simplest approach, but requires cables to be swapped and various
configurations for the terminal emulation application used as the PC user interface. The table below
provides connection details for all rack equipment.
