Compatible Systems T1-10/100 - Manual (Page 7)

Chapter 1 - Network Installation 3
v Note: The Octal T1-10/100 RIOP includes loopback features which can be used to check
the functionality of your T1 lines. Before attempting to route network traffic, use these features
to check each line’s basic integrity.
Connecting a Management Console
If you wish to connect an out-of-band management console, use the supplied DB-25 male to
DB-25 female console cable and connect to the Console interface on the Octal T1-10/100
RIOP. You can use a dumb terminal or a computer equipped with VT100 terminal emulation.
The default settings for the Console interface are VT100 terminal emulation, 9600 bps, 8 bits,
no parity, 1 stop bit and no Flow Control.
v Note: The Octal T1-10/100 RIOP also has an AUX interface. This is a modem connection
which should only be used in consultation with Compatible Systems Technical Support staff,
who will provide instruction on its use.
Powering Up the Router
Connect the supplied power cord to the front of the VSR and set the power switch to “On.” At
power-up, the router will take approximately one minute to become visible to CompatiView.
v Note: If you want to use Telnet as a management method, you must first configure an IP
address into the router with either an out-of-band console, CompatiView, or a reconfigured IP
host or workstation on the same Ethernet segment as the router. See the appropriate VSR
chassis section of the manual for more information on Command Line Management.
