AT-S99 Management Software
The AT-CV5M02 Management Card uses the AT-S99 Management
Software. This program comes pre-installed on the card with default
values for all of the operating parameters. New versions of the software
can be downloaded onto the card using XMODEM or Trivial File Transfer
Protocol (TFTP), as explained in Chapter 11, ”Uploading and
Downloading Files” on page 271.
Console Port
The management card has an RS-232 Console port for local management
of a Converteon chassis with a terminal or a personal computer and a
terminal emulator program. The initial management session of a
management card has to be a local session. For instructions, refer to
“Starting a Local Management Session” on page 58.
10/100Base-TX Port
To support those management functions that require communications with
your network, the management card comes with a standard 10/100Base-
TX Ethernet port, which features IEEE 802.3u Auto-Negotiation. Those
management functions that rely on this port are listed here:
ˆ Remote Telnet, web browser, or SNMP management
ˆ Sending event messages to a syslog server
ˆ Setting the date and time from a Network Time Protocol server
ˆ Sending SNMP traps to trap receivers
ˆ Uploading or downloading files to a TFTP server
ˆ Pinging remote devices
If the management card will be performing any of these task, be sure to
connect the 10/100Base-TX Ethernet port to a network device, such as an
Ethernet switch.
