To attach a management station using the serial port:
z
Connect a PC or terminal to the serial port of the system using a straight-through
cable. The serial port has a RJ45 connector.
NOTE:
You need to run a terminal emulation program on the PC.
z
Open the terminal emulation program and set the session parameters as follows:
Baud: 38400 bps
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
When you establish the serial connection to the system, press Return key on a blank line
to display the following prompt in the terminal emulation window:
Switch>
If you do not see the prompt:
Make sure the cable is securely connected to your PC and to the I30 SERIES
equipment.
Check the settings in your terminal emulation program. In addition to the session
settings listed above, make sure the terminal emulation session is running on the
same serial port you attached to the I30 SERIES equipment.
The EIA/TIA 232 serial communication port serves as a connection point for
management by a PC or workstation. I30 SERIES equipment comes with a standard
female to RJ45 connector; Serial cable options between a I30 SERIES equipment and a
PC or terminal are shown in Figure below.
