2.4.1
RS-232 Serial Management Port
RS-232 serial management port provides terminal management via a connected PC or another
terminal device or modem.
The terminal connected to serial management port provides the same management functionality
as Telnet interfaces (refer to Chapter 2.3.2). In order to interconnect the CFIP PhoeniX and the
management terminal directly through serial ports, a “straight through” modem cable is required.
Figure 2.14
Serial connection to CFIP PhoeniX
To connect the PC to the RS232 management port, using serial terminal-emulation software (e.g.
PuTTY
), use the following parameters:
•
Baud rate: 19200
•
Data bits: 8
•
Parity: None
•
Stop bits: 1
•
Data flow control: None
Below are connection steps with
PuTTY
-
Windows
freeware software.
1)
Open
PuTTY
and go to “Serial” category. Specify your COM port number you will be using,
change “Speed (baud)” to “19200” and “Flow control” to “None”:
