Chapter 8. SERIAL-BASED REMOTE PRODUCT
MANAGEMENT
8.1 Introduction
1) Use of the serial-based remote product management interface is recommended only for advanced users. All other users are
strongly encouraged to use the CDM-760 front panel or CDM-760 HTTP (Web Server) Interface for monitor and control (M&C) of
the CDM-760. See Chapter 6. FRONT PANEL OPERATION or Chapter 7. ETHERNET-BASED REMOTE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT.
2) To proceed with Serial-based Remote Product Management, assumptions are made that:
• The CDM-760 is operating with the latest version firmware files.
• The CDM-760 is connected to a user-supplied, Windows-based PC, and:
o
The PC serial port is connected to the CDM-760 rear panel ‘J3 | REMOTE’ port with a user-supplied serial cable.
o
The PC Ethernet port is connected to either the CDM-760 rear panel ‘J4 | MGMT’ 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port or the
optional High-Speed Packet Processor ‘P0 | MGMT’ 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 CDM-760 Serial Interface) and a compatible web
browser (for operation of the HTTP (Web Server) Interface).
• The CDM-760 Management IP Address has been noted using the CDM-760 front panel (CONFIG>IP>ADDRESSES).
The CDM-760 Advanced High-Speed Trunking Modem serial remote product management interface is an electrical interface that is either an
EIA-485 multi-drop bus (for the control of multiple devices) or an EIA-232 connection (for the control of a single device). The interface transmits
