EMM-E6 User’s Guide 4-3
4.2 CONFIGURING A CONSOLE CABLE
This section outlines the proper cable configurations for connecting the
EMM-E6 to a Local Management terminal. For information on the
appropriate pinouts, refer to Appendix A of this User’s Guide.
You need the following hardware (supplied with your EMM-E6) to
connect the EMM-E6 to a terminal:
• an RS232 cable
• an adapter
• a device cable
The adapter you use depends on whether you connect to LM from a VT
series terminal, or a VT-emulating PC. Read the information included
with the cable kit to make sure you are using the right adapter.
To configure the cables:
1. Plug a straight-through twisted pair cable (e.g., an RS232 cable) into
the EMM-E6 RJ45 COM 2 Port.
2. Plug the other end of the RS232 cable into the adapter.
3. Connect the adapter into the device cable and plug the other end of the
device cable into the terminal or terminal emulator. Detailed
descriptions of this process for VT terminals or terminal-emulating
PCs follow.
Do not attempt to utilize the COM 1 port for Local
Management, as the COM 1 port is intended to be used for
monitoring an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). The
method for configuring the COM 1 port for this purpose is
described later in this chapter.
