5. After several more seconds, the Ready LED will stay on, indicating
that the power-up diagnostics sequence is complete.
In addition, the Port Link LEDs will turn on for those ports with good
links and the Segment Status LEDs will turn on (or flash) when the
selected status condition is present.
2.3 CONNECTING THE LOCAL CONSOLE MANAGER
The Local Console Manager (LCM) is a command-line interface for
configuring, monitoring, and managing the FN10 through the out-of-band
RS232C connection on the front panel.
To connect LCM:
1. Connect your ASCII terminal or terminal emulator to the out-of-band
management RS232C port on the front panel of the FN10 using the
standard 9-pin serial cable shipped with the unit. (Only three of the
nine wires are necessary: Receive Data, Transmit Data, and Ground.)
2. Set the terminal to 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
3. Press the Enter key several times. If the FN10 is operational, LCM
responds with the FN10 > prompt.
LCM is now ready to use.
Refer to Section 1.6, Local Console Manager for a general overview of
LCM and the command syntax. LCM commands for configuring,
monitoring, and managing the FN10 are provided in the chapters dealing
with those topics.
NOTE
If a critical component fails diagnostics, the Ready LED will turn
off and the FN10 will attempt to reboot. If the Ready LED does
not stay on, contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support.
Refer to Section 1.2
NOTE
For your convenience, a male DB-9 to DB-25 converter has
been included in the FN10 shipping carton. This converter may
come in handy when connecting your ASCII terminal, or
terminal emulator.
