RS-232 Console Port (AT-CM70S Line Card Only)
You can use the console port on the AT-CM70S line card to establish a
local (out-of-band) management session with the chassis to configure
parameters and also view information about the operating of the system
and line cards. You establish a local management session with the
converter by connecting either a terminal, or a personal computer with a
terminal emulation program, to the port.
Note
For more information how to start a management session, refer to
the installation guide that comes with the chassis.
Note
If an AT-CM70S line card is used in an AT-CV5000 chassis, it can
be managed either from its local console or from the console port on
the AT-CV5M01 CPM module. However, if this line card is used in
an AT-CV1200 chassis, it can only be managed from its local
console, as there is no room for an AT-CV5M01 CPM module.
