Using Out-of-Band Management
This chapter shows you how to access and display the out-of-band management
(OBM) menus and menu options. The attributes displayed in the menus are defined
in the DECelms Use manual and the DECmcc Concentrator Access Module Use
manual.
4.1 Introduction
Using out-of-band management is optional and is not necessary for the operation of
the unit. OBM allows you to manage the DECconcentrator 500 unit with or without a
Network Management Card. Using OBM does not require any special management
station or software other than a terminal. You can connect a terminal directly to the
25-pin D-subminiature connector on the input/output (I/O) of the concentrator pan-
el. You can also connect the terminal to the concentrator through a modem.
NOTE
The DECconcentrator 500 requires Version 3.1 (or a
higher version) microcode for OBM support. OBM mi-
crocode does not have full modem support. Therefore,
you must use a Scholar modem (or equivalent).
