Management Interfaces
The IM can be managed through several user interfaces:
■ Over the serial port via a terminal or terminal emulation utility
■ Over Ethernet via a Telnet utility, Internet Web browser. Further, FTP
support provides additional management functionality.
Serial
The serial port allows for configuration of the Interface Manager from an
attached terminal or terminal emulator. It is used primarily for initial
configuration at the time of installation.
Ethernet
All management of the interface cards is performed using the Ethernet port.
The 10/100 Base T Ethernet port must first be configured via the serial port
with an appropriate IP address, subnet mask, and gateway prior to use.
Telnet
The IM is capable of holding Telnet sessions for management purposes. To
open a Telnet session, the IP address of the IM and a Telnet client utility are
required. See Accessing Telnet on page 38.
