Connecting To The Administration Console - Solectek skyway series User Manual

Connecting Cabling
Note:

Connecting to the Administration Console

Use this connection to:
• make and apply configuration settings to the unit
• monitor performance
• obtain transmission statistics
Solectek supplies an RS-422 weather-rated cable and an RS-422-to-RS-232 converter
for connecting to a serial communications port on the console or modem.
Connect a terminal directly to the unit's RS-422 port to provide secure access for a sin-
gle console.
You can use a modem to provide remote console access to all of SkyWay's configura-
tion features. You may also use SNMP Manager on a workstation connected to the
LAN to access most of Skyway's configuration objects. For security reasons, however,
not all SkyWay's features are available using SNMP .
