Serial Port Configuration

The Serial Port Configuration enables users to monitor and configure Out-
of-Band serial connections through the sub menus, Console Menu and
Out-of-Band Menu. Serial connections allow users to connect to the Hub
while the hub is operating either by cable or modem.

Console Menu
A Console Port connection is made by connecting a null modem cable
between the hub and a PC. A VT-100 emulator is needed to make the
software connection between the two devices. For Windows 95 users, a
terminal program “HyperTerminal” is provided under Accessories. The
following displays the required settings for the VT-100 emulator.
