This chapter introduces the SMT (System Management Terminal), describes how to access the
SMT and provides an overview of its menus. .

23.1 Introduction to the SMT

The System Management Terminal (SMT) is a menu – driven interface that you use to
configure the VSG. Access the SMT using the console port.
Note: You can connect the CONSOLE port on the VSG directly to a
computer serial port or to a statement printer (also known as an account
generator printer).
Note: Make sure the CONSOLE port is set to the correct mode. Refer to
Chapter 3, "The Web Configurator," on page 39
web configurator.
Use the SMT to set general system settings and upgrade firmware. For advanced
configuration, use the embedded web configurator (refer to the corresponding chapters on
configuration using the web configuration).

23.1.1 Establishing a Console Port Connection

After the VSG is directly connected to a computer using the console port, turn on the computer
and run a terminal emulation program (for example, Hyper Terminal in Windows) and
configure its communication parameters as follows:
• 9600 bits per second.
• Parity none
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• flow-control none.
