Local Management Session
On the AT-CV5M01 CPM card installed in the chassis is a port labelled
“console”. You can use this port to establish a local (out-of-band)
management session with an AT-S70 management software.
A local management session is so named because you must be close to
the chassis, usually within a few meters, to start this type of management
session. This means you must be where the chassis is located.
A chassis does not need an IP address to be managed 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
To start a local management session, perform the following procedure:
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 CPM card,
as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Connecting RS-232 Cable to AT-CV5M01 CPM’s Console Port
2. Connect the other end of the cable to an RS-232 port on a terminal or
PC with a terminal emulator program.
3. Configure the terminal or terminal emulation program as follows:
ˆ Bits per second: 1200 bps to 115200bps (default 115200)
(see Note below)
ˆ Data bits: 8
