• The CTOG-250 Management IP Address has been noted using the CTOG-250 Serial Interface.
2. USE OF THE SNMP INTERFACE IS RECOMMENDED ONLY FOR ADVANCED USERS. ALL OTHER USERS ARE STRONGLY
ENCOURAGED TO USE THE CTOG-250 WEB SERVER INTERFACE FOR REMOTE MONITOR AND CONTROL (M&C). SEE
CHAPTER 7. ETHERNET-BASED REMOTE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT.
Figure 8-1. CTOG-250 Serial Interface Example
CTOG-250 Serial Remote Product Management is available through the EIA-232 operational interface, where the ‘Controller’ device (the
user PC or an ASCII dumb terminal) is connected directly to the ‘Target’ device (the CTOG-250, via its DB-9M ‘SERIAL’ port). This
connection makes possible serial remote monitor and control (M&C) of the system through its CTOG-250 Serial Command Line Interface.
Through this EIA-232 connection (for the control of a single device), data is transmitted in asynchronous serial form, using ASCII characters.
Control and status information is transmitted in packets of variable length in accordance with the structure and protocol defined later in
this chapter.
Access to the interface is accomplished with a user-supplied terminal emulator program such as Tera Term or HyperTerminal. Use this
utility program to first configure serial port communication and terminal display operation:
• 38400 bps (Baud Rate) • 8 Data Bits • 1 Stop Bit • Local Echo = ON
• Parity = NO • Port Flow Control = NONE • Display New line Rx/Tx: CR
