OAP Card Overview
As an open software and hardware system, the Open Application Architecture (OAA) of Hangzhou H3C
Technologies Co., Ltd. (referred to as H3C hereinafter) provides a set of standard software and
hardware interfaces based on H3C devices. The third party vendors can develop products with special
functions. These products can be compatible with H3C devices as long as they conform to the OAA
interface standards. Therefore, the functions of single network products can be expanded and the users
can get more benefits. The Open Application Platform (OAP) is developed based on the OAA. It can be
an independent network device, or a card used as an extended part of a device or integrated into a
network device. This kind of OAP is called an OAP card. An OAP card runs an independent operating
system. You can load software such as security and voice in the operating system as needed.
Meanwhile, after an OAP card is inserted into the expansion card slot of the device, it interacts with the
device on data, status information and control information through its internal service interfaces.
Logging In to the Operating System of an OAP Card
Logging In Through the Console Port of an OAP Card
You can log in to the operating system on an OAP card directly through the console port on the OAP
card. In this example, a PC acts as a terminal.
1) Connect one end of the configuration cable to the serial port of the PC, and the other end to the
console port of the OAP card.
2) Start the PC and run the terminal emulation program such as the HyperTerminal. Select the
connection mode
COM
and set the terminal parameters. Parameter requirements: set the bits per
second to 9600, data bits to 8, parity to none, stop bits to 1, and flow control to none.
After the configuration, you can log in to the operating system of the OAP card through the terminal
emulation program on the PC.
Logging In Through the Management Ethernet Port of an OAP Card by Using SSH
You can log in to the operating system of an OAP card through its management Ethernet port. To
configure the OAP card as the SSH server, follow these steps:
1) Log in to the OAP card through the console port, and then enable the SSH server function on the
OAP card.
2) Connect the management Ethernet port of the OAP card to the network with a network cable.
