Connecting a Management Console

To connect a management console, use the supplied cable and connect to the Console interface
on the 10-100 Ethernet - DES I/O card. 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 10-100 Ethernet - DES I/O card 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.

v Note: If you want to use Telnet as a management method, you must first configure an IP
address into the server using an out-of-band console, or reconfigure the IP address on an IP
host or workstation on the same Ethernet segment as the server. See Chapter 4 - Command
Line Preparation in the IntraPort Carrier Chassis section of the manual for more information
.
