2000-A2-GB20-10 - 10 - February 2004vertically, ensure at least 3 inches of distance between other IADs or otherequipment.Wiring RequirementsMake sure that the telephone wiring, LAN and WAN cables reach the IADand can be dressed in a manner that is safe for the wiring, does not pull orcreate lateral stress on the connectors or ports on the rear of the IAD, anddoes not present a trip hazard to personnel working in the vicinity of theequipment. Do not connect any cables or wiring at this time.ConnectviaTerminalEmulatorThe IAD is configured and managed from either the console or Ethernetport. Most network engineers use Telnet to access the IAD via Ethernet.After you use a terminal emulator program via the console port to set theIP address, you may continue to use a terminal emulator via the consoleport if you choose.Before you can connect to the IAD via Telnet, make sure the IP address isset correctly for this network. To do so, follow the steps, each described indetail below:1. Connect the IAD to a PC2. Log in to the IAD3. Set the IP addressConnect the IAD to a PCTo connect the IAD to a PC via the console port:1. Turn off both devices and insert the male connector of a DB9 serialcable into the console port on the IAD.2. Insert the female connector of the cable into a serial (COM) port onyour PC.Power Up the IAD1. With the console cable connected, on 2/4/8-port IADs plug the ACpower adapter into the IAD. On 16/24-port IADs, turn on the powerNOTE 2/4/8-port IADs may be stacked on top of one another, whenmounted horizontally. 16/24-port IADs may be rack mounted.NOTE After a period of inactivity (three minutes by default), the IADautomatically terminates console-based and Telnet sessionsto maintain security. To change this value, see Configuringthe Console Timeout Period on page 36.NOTE Be sure that the IAD and PC are both powered OFF beforeconnecting the console cable. If both devices are not turnedoff when you connect the cables, you may place the IAD in anunstable state, and you may need to reset one or bothdevices before you can perform configuration tasks.NOTE See RS-232 DB-9 Console Port Pin Assignments on page265 for console port specifications.
