Command Line Interface
The command line interface allows you to configure a limited set of
parameters for the unit. You can access the command line interface:
■
Through the console port
■
Over the network
This section has information on accessing the command line
interface. For more information on using it, refer to
Chapter 3“Managing the Dual Speed Hub 500”
.
Through the Console Port
Table 3
shows the settings for the hub’s console port.
You can access the console port through a direct local connection, or
you can set up a remote connection using a modem.
The terminal or management station (with the terminal emulator)
connected to the console port must use the same settings as the
unit. By default, the unit has auto-configuration enabled which
changes the hub’s console port settings to match those of the
connected equipment and automatically detects the baud rate (line
speed). The unit can auto-detect baud rates of 1200, 2400, 4800,
9600 and 19,200.
You need to use a null modem cable for connecting your terminal or
management station directly to the console port. This should be
available from your supplier. There are a variety of null modem cables
that you can use. For an example of one of these, refer to
“Examples
of Null Modem Cables You Can Use”
on
page 113
.
If you are using a modem in your setup, you need to use a modem
cable. For an example of one of these, refer to
“Modem Cable”
on
page 114
. For information on setting up and connecting the modem,
refer to the documentation that accompanies the modem.
