5.3.3 Telnet Connections
Once the 2M46-04R has a valid IP address, a Telnet session with Local
Management can be established from any TCP/IP based station on the
network. Telnet connections to the 2M46-04R require the passwords
assigned at the SNMP Community Names screen. For additional
information about these passwords, refer to
Section 5.8 . Refer to the
instructions included with the Telnet application for information about
establishing a Telnet session.
5.3.4 Connecting an Uninterruptible Power Supply
If the 2M46-04R is connected to an American Power Conversion (APC)
Uninterruptible (UPS) device for power, a connection from the
2M46-04R COM port to the UPS can be made to monitor the power status
of the UPS. To use the COM port for this purpose, it must be reconfigured
to support the UPS connection using the local management screen,
General Configuration, as described in
Section 5.7.10 . Refer to the UPS
documentation for details on how to access the status information.
Use the Console Cable Kit provided with the 2M46-04R to attach the
UPS to the 2M46-04R COM port as shown in
Figure 5-2 .
Connect the UPS device to the COM port of the 2M46-04R as follows:
1. Connect the RJ45 connector at one end of the cable to the COM port
on the 2M46-04R.
2. Plug the RJ45 connector at the other end of the cable into the
RJ45-to-DB9 male (UPS) adapter.
3. Connect the RJ45-to-DB9 male (UPS) adapter to the female DB9 port
on the rear of the UPS device (see the particular UPS device’s user
instructions for more specific information about the monitoring
connection).
