Connect the other end of the interface cable to a terminal (in someinstances, an adapter may be required to make this connection).4. From your terminal, start the terminal emulation program.5. Configure the terminal to the following communication settings:VT100 emulation, 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flowcontrol, ASCII character set.Remote Management via the Console PortConfigure the Hub Site - Connect the Agent Module’s DB-9 serial portto the modem’s serial port using standard cabling. For most modemsusing a 25-pin port, you will have to provide an RS-232 cable with a 9-pinconnector on one end and a 25-pin connection on the other end. You donot have to set the modem at the hub’s site, because the hub willautomatically configure it to auto-answer mode.Configure the Remote Site - At the remote site, connect the PC’s COMport (COM 1~4) to the modem’s serial port. Set terminal emulation type toVT100, specify the port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1~4), then setcommunications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, 9600 bps, and no flowcontrol.In-Band ConnectionsPrior to accessing the Agent Module via a network connection, you mustconfigure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gatewayusing an out-of-band connection or the BOOTP protocol.Telnet Connection - Prior to accessing the Agent Module via an in-bandTelnet connection, you must configure it with a valid IP address, subnetmask, and default gateway using an out-of-band connection or theBOOTP protocol. After configuring the hub’s IP parameters, you canaccess the on-board configuration program from anywhere within theattached network.In-Band Network Connection - The on-board configuration program canbe accessed using Telnet from any computer attached to the network.The hub and stack can also be managed by any computer using a webbrowser (Internet Explorer 3.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator 3.0 orabove), or from a network computer using third-party networkmanagement software.The Agent Module will automatically issue BOOTP re-quests if the IP address is set to "0.0.0.0".
