RS-232 Terminal Port
You use this port for local management of the module with a console or a
PC with a terminal emulation program. This management method, which
does not require the module to have an Internet Protocol (IP) address, is
referred to as local or out-of-band management because it is not
conducted over a network.
This type of management uses the RS-232 Serial Management cable that
comes with the management module. For instructions on how to start a
local session, refer to Chapter 22, “Starting a Local Management Session”
on page 143 or the AT-S85 and AT-S97 Management Software Command
Line User’s Guide.
