Connecting The Local Console Manager To A Terminal - Cabletron Systems SmartSTACK 100 ELS100-16TX Getting Started

Connecting the Local Console Manager
to a Terminal
The Local Console Manager (LCM) is a command-line interface
for configuring, monitoring, and managing the ELS100-16TX
through the out-of-band RS232C connection on the front panel.
To connect LCM:
1. Connect your VT series terminal or terminal emulator to the
out-of-band management RS232C port on the front panel of
the ELS100-16TX using the twisted pair cable with RJ45
connectors shipped with the unit. (Only three of the nine wires
are necessary: Receive Data, Transmit Data and ground.)
Pin Signal Name
1 Transmit Data (XMT)
2 Data Carrier Detect (DCD)
3 Data Set Ready (DSR)
4 Receive Data (RCV)
5 Signal Ground (GND)
6 Data Terminal Ready (DTR)
7 Request to Send (RTS)
8 Clear to Send (CTS)
2. Set the terminal to 9600 baud, 8N1: 8 data bits, no parity, 1
stop bit, and no flow control.
3. Press the Enter key several times. If the ELS100-16TX is
operational, LCM responds with the
LCM is now ready to use. Refer to the SmartStack 100
ELS100-16TX User's Guide for an overview of LCM and the
command syntax. LCM commands for the ELS100-16TX are
provided in the User's Guide in chapters dealing with those topics.
