N525 Ethernet Termination Service Unit 3-1
Chapter 3
Management
The N525 has three management interfaces:
• A VT100 terminal interface, available on the RS-232 serial port and through
Telnet
• The SideBand Management Channel, available when connected to another
N525, to an L351 Media Converter, or to an L357 Ethernet Service Unit
• SNMP
Telnet and SNMP access to the N525 can use either the user data stream (in-band) or
the RS-232 serial port when it is configured for PPP or SLIP operation. The SideBand
Management Channel is a out-of-band management communication path on the
Extension port that communicates with the distant N525, L351 or L357.
Note: If Connectivity Loss Detection (CLD) is enabled and you need to make some other
configuration change on the N525, you should disable CLD first. CLD is disabled by
default.
Setting Up VT100 Terminal Network Management on the
RS-232 Serial Port
When using the RS-232 serial port for VT100 sessions, Canoga Perkins suggests that
you use HyperTerminal
1 or other VT100 terminal emulation program when using a PC.
The VT100 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 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.
