Module

The top expansion slot on the rear panel of the switch is for the optional
AT-BMGMT Management Module (Figure 3). This module can manage
the switch or the attached stack. It offers a variety of management
options, including SNMP, RMON and a Web-based interface. This
module also includes an RS-232 port for out-of-band management. This
is an RS-232 serial port with a DB-9 connector. A PC may be connected to
this port for configuration and monitoring purposes out-of band via a
full-handshaking null modem cable. You can also make a remote
connection to this port via modems. This allows you to access the
out-of-band interface, or to establish a network connection using SLIP
protocol. (See Appendix A for a description of wiring options.)
