The Remote Annex 539x uses the service port on the 5000
chassis as the console port.
3. Set the terminal to 9600 bps, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and
no flow control.
4. For the Remote Annex 2000 or Remote Annex 4000, turn on
the unit and immediately press the button on the
front panel. Make sure the Test LED comes on.
For the Remote Annex 539x, Remote Annex 6100 and

through its front panel:
FORMAT (FDL) = ANSI (or ATT)
CLOCK = SLAVE
DISTANCE = 133 ft.
3. Use na to enable SNMP sets, modify the PRI parameter
switch_type if it is other than 5ess (NI-2 or DMS100, for
example) and to specify the distance between the Remote
Annex 6300 and the CSU.
