Chapter 6. SERIAL-BASED REMOTE PRODUCT
MANAGEMENT
6.1 Introduction
1. To proceed with Serial‐based Remote Product Management, assumptions are made that:
• The CDD‐880 is operating with the latest version firmware files.
• The CDD‐880 is connected to a user‐supplied Windows‐based PC as follows:
o The PC serial port is connected to the CDD‐880 rear panel ‘CONSOLE’ port using a user‐supplied serial cable.
o The PC Ethernet port is connected to the CDD‐880 rear panel ‘ETHERNET | TRAFFIC / MANAGEMENT | GE’
10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet port with a user‐supplied hub, switch, or direct Ethernet cable connection.
o The PC is running a terminal emulation program (for operation of the CDD‐880 Serial Command Line Interface)
and a compatible Web browser (for operation of the CDD‐880 Web Server Interface).
• The CDD‐880 Management IP Address has been noted using the CDD‐880 Serial Command Line Interface (CLI).
2. USE OF THE SERIAL‐BASED REMOTE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT INTERFACE IS RECOMMENDED ONLY FOR ADVANCED
USERS. ALL OTHER USERS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO USE THE CDD‐880 WEB SERVER INTERFACE FOR MONITOR
AND CONTROL (M&C) OF THE CDD‐880. SEE CHAPTER 5. ETHERNET‐BASED REMOTE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT.
