20 Installation ELH100-12/24TX
2. Connect one end of the interface cable directly to the Agent Module’s
console port and tighten the retaining screws.
3. Connect the other end of the interface cable to a terminal (in some
instances, an adapter may be required to make this connection).
4. From your terminal, start the terminal emulation program.
5. Configure the terminal to the following communication settings:
VT100 emulation, 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow
control, ASCII character set.
Remote Management via the Console Port
Configure the Hub Site - Connect the Agent Module’s DB-9 serial port
to the modem’s serial port using standard cabling. For most modems
using a 25-pin port, you will have to provide an RS-232 cable with a 9-pin
connector on one end and a 25-pin connection on the other end. You do
not have to set the modem at the hub’s site, because the hub will
automatically configure it to auto-answer mode.
Configure the Remote Site - At the remote site, connect the PC’s COM
port (COM 1~4) to the modem’s serial port. Set terminal emulation type to
VT100, specify the port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1~4), then set
communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, 9600 bps, and no flow
control.
In-Band Connections
Prior to accessing the Agent Module via a network connection, you must
configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway
using an out-of-band connection or the BOOTP protocol.
Telnet Connection - Prior to accessing the Agent Module via an in-band
Telnet connection, you must configure it with a valid IP address, subnet
mask, and default gateway using an out-of-band connection or the
BOOTP protocol. After configuring the hub’s IP parameters, you can
access the on-board configuration program from anywhere within the
attached network
.
In-Band Network Connection - The on-board configuration program can
be accessed using Telnet from any computer attached to the network.
The hub and stack can also be managed by any computer using a web
browser (Internet Explorer 3.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator 3.0 or
above), or from a network computer using third-party network
management software.
The Agent Module will automatically issue BOOTP re-
quests if the IP address is set to "0.0.0.0". BOOTP is
disabled if a valid IP address has been set. Refer to
System Configuration Menu on page 33.
