Connecting A Workstation Running Slip; Managing Over The Network - 3Com 3C16630A User Manual

If you are using a PC, you need a null modem cable with an
appropriate connector.
The Module automatically configures its baud rate to that of the
terminal emulator, as described above. You must set the character size

the Module. Refer to
get started with the VT100 management interface.

Connecting a Workstation Running SLIP

You can communicate with the Module via the serial port from a
workstation running SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol). In this way, you
can manage the stack using Telnet or SNMP out-of-band management.
The cables you require to connect the workstation will depend on its
manufacturer and model. The general guidance given above for
terminals will be useful here. You must also configure your workstation
to use SLIP. Consult the operator manuals of your workstation for
details.
You must configure the serial port of the Module to accept SLIP. This
involves setting up the SLIP parameters (address and subnet mask).
You can set up the SLIP parameters using either a network connection
or a serial port connection. Refer to
