If you wish to use an IBM-compatible PC to locally administer your system, you will need to
establish a null-modem connection between PC and CyberSWITCH. You will also need the
optional Manager diskette which includes Carbon Copy software. Carbon Copy allows you to
manage and configure your CyberSWITCH as if it were a direct connection, and additionally
provides a means for file transfer. Refer to the
discussion in the Remote Management
chapter for more information.
Physical Connections:
1.
Use a null-modem cable (with 9-pin female RS232 connectors) to connect the 9-pin, male RS232
port on the CyberSWITCH to the 9-pin, male RS232 port on the PC. Depending on the type of
administration console PC you use, the null modem pin-outs may vary. The following are
appropriate connections:
2.
On the PC, execute the Manager software from diskette, or install the software on your PC’s
hard disk and execute from hard disk. (1 MB of free space needed for installation.) Note that
hard disk operation is more efficient.
Note:
You do not need to change Carbon Copy’s port parameters. The
are sufficient
for null-modem connection.
Powering On:
1.
Verify that the
is set for the correct AC input power source.
2.
Plug the standard power cord into the CyberSWITCH’s AC input power socket.
3.
Ensure that the POWER-ON button on the CyberSWITCH is in the OFF position.
