Local Management Session
The AT-CV5M01 Management Card has a port labelled “console.” You
use this port to establish a local (out-of-band) management session
through the AT-S70 management software.
A chassis does not need an IP address for you to manage it from a local
management session. You can start a local management session at any
time on any Converteon™ chassis in your network. A local management
session does not interfere with the flow of Ethernet traffic through the unit.
Starting a Local
Management
Session

1. Connect one end of a straight-through RS-232 cable with a DB-9
connector to the RS-232 Terminal Port on the AT-CV5M01
Management Card, as shown in Figure 1.
