Management
The N525 has three basic management interfaces, VT-100 terminal interface on the RS-
232 serial port and Telnet, SideBand Management Channel when connected to another
N525, a L351 Ethernet Service Unit, or a L357 Ethernet Service Unit and SNMP. Telnet
and SNMP access to the N525 is configurable to use either the user data stream (in-
band) or from the RS-232 serial port when it is configured for PPP or SLIP operation.
SideBand Management Channel is a out-of-band management communication path on
the Extension port which communicates with the distant N525, L351 or L357.
Setting Up VT-100 Terminal Network Management on the
RS-232 Serial Port
When using the RS-232 Serial Port for VT-100 sessions, Canoga Perkins suggests that
you use HyperTerminal
1
or other VT-100 Terminal Emulation program when using a PC.
The VT-100 Telnet Terminal Interface is only available after the management TCP/IP
configuration is complete.
The steps below briefly describe how to set up HyperTerminal on your PC. For details
on using MS Windows
2
, see your MS Windows documentation.
1. At your MS Windows desktop, click Start, then highlight Programs, Accessories,
the HyperTerminal Folder, and then click HyperTerminal.
2. At the Connection Description dialog, select an icon, enter a name for the
connection to the system, and click OK.
3. At the Connect To dialog, pull down the Connect using menu, select the COM
port, and click OK.
4. At the COM Properties dialog, on the Port Settings tab, check for these
selections:
• Bits per second: 19200 bps
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: None
5. Click OK. HyperTerminal connects to the system and the VT100 terminal
emulation starts.
