Chapter 3
Software Management

The standard management package is the VT100 Terminal Emulation, which you can access through
a Telnet session, HyperTerminal or similar terminal emulation software, or CanogaView. You can
run up to two management sessions at one time.

3.1

Use VT100 Terminal Emulation

You can access the VT100 terminal emulation management functions through the console port, a dial-
up modem, or the Domain Management Module (DMM) for the domain. For details on the DMM,
see the Model 1500 Domain Management Module Users Manual.

Note

If the 6703 is in a UCS 1001, you cannot access it through a DMM because the UCS 1001
cannot host a DMM or Chassis Interconnect Module (CIM).

You must use a VT100 program through a serial connection for your first session. Canoga Perkins
suggests that you use HyperTerminal. If you want to manage the 6703 through the Ethernet port on a
1040 enclosure, first set up the SNMP parameters; see Section 3.4.4.

These are general steps for the Windows interface; for details, see your Windows documentation.

1. Set the TRM/MDM switch on the 6703 front panel to TRM.

2. Turn on your PC.

3. When the Windows desktop appears, click Start, then highlight Programs, Accessories, the

HyperTerminal Folder, and then click HyperTerminal.

4. At the Connection Description dialog, select an icon, enter a name for the connection to the

system, and click OK.

5. At the Connect To dialog, pull down the Connect using menu, select the COM port, and

click OK.

6. At the COM Properties dialog, on the Port Settings tab, set these values:

• Bits per second: 19200
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: None

7. When HyperTerminal opens and is ready for login, press <Esc>. The Main Menu for the 6703

appears.
