3.3 Setup for Out-of-band (Console) Management
Before doing any in-band management, it is necessary to perform console operations for configuring IP and
SNMP related settings for the first time the system is being installed. The console port is located on the SNMP
module.
Any PC running Windows 95/98/XP/2000/2003 can be used as a console via the COM port. Windows Hyper
Terminal program is an ideal, and the most popular, software for such console terminal operations.
To setup console operation, the steps are:
1. Find a proper RS-232 cable for the connection to a console terminal. If your are using a PC as a Terminal,
make sure the cable pin assignments comply with the following:
Console port 9-pin PC COM port
Pin 2 RXD 3
3 TXD 2
4 DTR 6
5 GND 5
6 DSR 4
2. Connect one end to the console port and connect the other end to the PC COM port.
3. Configure your PC COM port setting to match the RS-232 settings of the console port and start your terminal
software.
Factory default settings of the Console port
Baud rate: 38400, N, 8, 1, 0

5. Press <Enter> key several times in your terminal software until a login prompt comes up. It means the
connection is proper.
NOTE: The console port does not support a modem connection.
Refer to Chapter 4 for more information about Console management.

18 www.versitron.com
3.4 Setup for In-band Management
To perform an in-band management, it is necessary to connect the system to your TCP/IP network. The steps are:
1. Configure IP and SNMP related settings to the system using direct console management the first time the
system is being installed.
2. Find a proper straight-through Category 5 UTP cable (maximal length 100 meters) for the connection.
3. Connect one end of the UTP cable to the UTP port on the SNMP module and connect the other end to the
device, such as a switching hub, in your TCP/IP network.
4. Start your in-band management operations. For different management methods, refer to:
•Chapter 4 for Telnet management
