Chapter 1: AT-CV5M02 Management Card
26
Management Access
There are four ways to manage the Converteon product:
ˆ Local management
ˆ Remote Telnet management
ˆ Remote web browser management
ˆ Remote SNMP management
Local
Management
The AT-CV5M02 Management Card has an RS-232 Console port for local
(out-of-band) management. This type of management, which has to be
performed at the chassis, hence the term “local,” is accomplished with the
management cable that ships with the card and a terminal or a PC with a
terminal emulator program. The management card does not need an IP
address for local management. Your initial management session of a
management card has to be a local session. For instructions, refer to
“Starting a Local Management Session” on page 72.
Remote Telnet
Management
The management card has a Telnet server for remote management from
Telnet clients on your network. Because this type of management is
performed over the network, you may find it more convenient than local
management, which has to be performed in the wiring closet where the
chassis is located. Remote Telnet management, also referred to as in-
band management, uses the same menus as local management and
supports all of the same management capabilities. The requirements for
remote Telnet managed are detailed in “Accessing Your Network” on
page 31. For further instructions, refer to “Starting a Telnet Management
Session” on page 75.
Remote Web
Browser
Management
The AT-CV5M02 Management Card can also be managed from a web
browser on a network workstation. This is an alternative to the menus and
it supports nearly all of the same management functions. The
requirements for remote web browser management are detailed in
“Accessing Your Network” on page 31. To start this type of management
session, refer to “Starting a Web Browser Management Session” on
page 76.
Note
The web browser windows are supported on the AT-CV5000
Chassis, but not on the AT-CV1200 or AT-CV1203 Chassis.
