Introducing the SMT
This chapter describes how to access the SMT and provides an overview of its menus .
18.1 Introduction to the SMT
The ZyXEL Device’s SMT (System Management Terminal) is a menu-driven interface that
you can access from a terminal emulator through the console port or over a telnet connection.
This chapter shows you how to access the SMT (System Management Terminal) menus, how
to navigate the SMT and how to configure SMT menus.
18.2 Accessing the SMT via the Console Port
Use the console port to configure the ZyXEL Device via SMT menus. Connect the PS/2
connector of the console cable to the console port of the ZyXEL Device and the other end to a
serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) on your computer.
When configuring using the console port, you need a computer equipped with
communications software configured to the following parameters:
• VT100 terminal emulation.
• 9600 Baud.
• No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, flow control set to none.
18.2.1 Initial Screen
When you turn on your ZyXEL Device, it performs several internal tests.
After the tests, the ZyXEL Device asks you to press [ENTER]
to continue, as shown next.
