Attach a VT100 compatible terminal or a PC running a terminal
emulation program to the serial port on the switch’s rear panel.
Use the null-modem cable provided with this package, or use a
null modem connection that complies with the wiring assignments
shown in Appendix B of this guide.
When attaching to a PC, set terminal emulation type to VT100,
specify the port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1~4), and then set
communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and 19200 bps
(for initial configuration). Also be sure to set flow control to
“none.” (Refer to “Configuring the Serial Port” on page 2-14 for a
complete description of configuration options.)
Remote Management via the Console Port
Configure the Switch Site
Connect the switch’s DB9 serial port to the modem’s serial port
using standard cabling. For most modems which use a 25-pin port,
you will have to provide an RS232 cable with a 9-pin connector on
one end and a 25-pin connector on the other end. Set the modem
at the switch’s site to force auto-answer mode. The following is a
sample initialization string: “ATQ1S0=1&D0&K0&W” as defined
below:
Q1 : Inhibit result codes to DTE
S0=1 : Auto answer on first ring
D0 : Don’t care DTR
K0
: Disables DTE/DCE flow control
W : Write command to modem memory
