CONNECT VT1OO TERMINAL TO NMIC RS232 PORT
Summary: This procedure describes making the connection from a VT100 terminal (or PC with
VT emulating software) to the NMIC RS232 port, and setting the IP address. The craft connector
wiring convention is also covered in this DLP. The NMIC craft port is only used during initial
setup of the NMIC to initialize the environment and enable Graphical User Interface (GUI) or
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) capabilities from a Network Management
System (NMS). The IP is the target address for NMS access to the system information. The IP
address should be assigned by the Network Engineer and programmed into the Cellworx STN by
the user.
The NMICs are a PowerPC workstation running Linux software and are shipped with a
temporary physical IP address of 155.226.39.28 which may be used to initially communicate
with the NMIC. The USER however must modify the IP address before using the Cellworx
system. A brief overview of the IP Address implementation in Cellworx, the process of changing
the IP address, and the process of displaying the Cellworx Graphical User Interface is described
in this procedure. If the NMIC status LED is blinking red, the network information has not yet
been configured.
If the IP addresses are not listed in the installation work order or project book, consult with your
company's corporate Networking Administration for policies and acquisition of suitable IP
addresses. Companies can create their own IP networks without any relationship to the public IP
network. This may be desirable since the STN would be set on a private IP network and not on
the public IP network. If these IP addresses are never intended to communicate with the outside
world, the assignment of an IP address is arbitrary. For sanity reasons, pick an address using the
following blocks that are specified as "internal network".
10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255, (except 192.168.88.0 and 192.168.90.0 which are
internal to the ring system. Refer to the /etc/hosts file for listings)
Note: This procedure assumes the NMIC is installed in the correct slots within the GNE
shelf and has power applied.
Caution: Modules can be damaged by static electrical discharge. Before handling any
modules connect your wrist to an equipment ground using an approved anti-static wrist
strap. Ensure that all un-installed modules are stored in anti-static packing material.
When working with modules, always place the module on an electrically grounded
approved anti-static mat.
1. Obtain access to a VT100 terminal, or a PC with VT emulation software, at GNE location.
Verify the connector pin out per the NMIC Craft port pin out information shown in
702-1.
