Connecting a VT100 Terminal
The bridge can be configured and monitored through a direct
serial connection to the bridge RS232 port on the rear of the
bridge unit.
The bridge functions as a DCE; the terminal must be DTE.
You must use an RS232 straight-through serial cable to connect
the bridge serial port to your Macintosh or PC. The bridge connec-
tor requires a male DB9; a Macintosh requires a DIN8, and PCs
may require DB9, DB15, or DB25 connectors.
Figure 2-13 Connecting the VT100 terminal
❖ Important: Do not connect the VT100 to the hub RS232
port located below the bridge local management port.
This port is used only for connecting AsantéView Out-
of-Band. ❖
The bridge local management port data communication parame-
ters are preset at the factory and cannot be modified. You must set
up your terminal or emulation software to match these parame-
ters:
