Observing the power status LEDs
lists the device front panel LEDs that show power status. The power supplies do not have
LEDs.
The software regularly polls the hardware for power status information. You can display the status
information from any management session using the show device CLI command. In addition, the
software automatically generates a Syslog message and SNMP trap if a status change occurs.
Attaching a PC or terminal
To assign an IP address, you must have access to the Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI is a
text-based interface that can be accessed through a direct serial connection to the device or
through Telnet connections.
You will need to assign an IP address using the CLI. You can access the CLI by attaching
management station through a serial cable to the Console port. After you assign an IP address, you
can access the system through Telnet, the Web management interface, or IronView Network
Manager.
To attach a management station using the serial port:
1. Use a straight-through cable to connect a PC or terminal to the male DB-9 serial port
connector.
NOTE
You need to run a terminal emulation program on the PC.
2. Open the terminal emulation program and set the session parameters as follows:
•
Baud: 9600 bps
•
Data bits: 8
•
Parity: None
•
Stop bits: 1
•
Flow control: None
