TiOS version 8.0
To connect a remote console:
1
Connect the DB-9 male end of the cable to the Tasman system.
2
Connect the other end of the cable to the modem.
3
Connect the modem to a telephone line using a standard twisted-pair cable with modular RJ-11
connectors.
4
Repeat steps 2 and 3 on the remote terminal or workstation side.
5
Configure modems for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and XON/XOFF flow control.
Refer to your modem documentation if necessary. If a workstation is used for the console, use
VT-100 terminal emulation software or equivalent, and configure the software as specified for
modems.
NOTE:
A modem connected to the Console port of a Tasman system and set for verbose mode
(configured to “send result codes” or “echo” commands) can prevent the system from booting up
properly. Tasman Networks recommends that the user configures the modem for quiet (non-verbose)
mode when it is connected to the system Console port.
Figure 32 Remotely Accessing a Tasman System
NOTE:
Make sure to use the Console port on the front panel of the 1450 for remote access and
management. Do not use the dial-out port on the back panel for this purpose.
Telnet
An alternative to dial-up console access is to telnet to the Tasman system. A terminal connected to
the Ethernet LAN is required, and you must know the IP address for the Tasman system.
NOTE:
After three failed attempts to log in, the Telnet session terminates. You must reconnect to attempt
another log in.
Console Messages
Alarm messages are displayed at the console when system logging is configured. Refer to the
configure system logging console command and related system logging commands in the
Command Reference Guide for more information about how to configure specific alarm events.
