Configuring the Contivity 100 unit through a direct
connection
To configure the Contivity 100 unit through a direct connection to a dumb or
smart terminal using the out-of-band management feature, you must:
1
Use the Configuration switches on the back of the Contivity 100 unit to set the
unit's AUX port connection speed (115200 baud or 9600 baud) to match the
terminal's connection speed.
2
Connect the unit to the terminal.
3
Use terminal emulation software to configure and establish a connection.

Connecting the Contivity 100 unit directly to a terminal

This procedure provides instructions for connecting the Contivity 100 unit to a
dumb terminal or smart terminal (for example, a PC, a Macintosh, or a UNIX
workstation).
313369-A
Note: The Contivity 100 unit's AUX port supports connection speeds of
both 115200 baud (default) and 9600 baud. Some dumb terminal devices
or terminal emulation software (for example, AniTa Terminal Emulator),
do not support the 115200 baud rate. In this case, you must set the unit's
AUX port connection speed to 9600 baud. For details, refer to
settings for the AUX port speed" on page
Note: If the unit is unconfigured, LED 2 glows amber when the unit is
ready for configuration. You may have to wait several minutes for LED 2
to glow amber. If the unit is configured and operating properly, LED 2
glows green.
