ACCESSING LOCAL MANAGEMENT
This chapter describes how to access LM via a direct or remote
management terminal connection. It describes management terminal
requirements and how to connect a VT-series terminal, a PC, and a
modem to the TRBMIM/TRBMIM-T. It also describes terminal and
modem setup parameters for the connection and requirements for
establishing an in-band connection to LM via Telnet.

2.1 MANAGEMENT TERMINAL REQUIREMENTS

The following terminals can be used to access LM:
• Digital Equipment Corporation VT-series terminal or VT-type
terminal running VT-series software
• IBM or compatible PC running a VT-series emulation program

2.2 CONNECTING A VT-SERIES TERMINAL

Use the RS-232 console cable and the RJ45-to-DB25 VT-series adaptor
shipped with the TRBMIM/TRBMIM-T to connect the VT-series
terminal, as shown in Figure 2-1.
To connect the VT-series terminal:
1. Insert the cable's DB9 connector into the LM Console port.
2. Attach the VT-series RJ45-to-DB25 adaptor to the RJ45 connector at
the other end of the cable.
3. Connect the adaptor into the appropriate serial communications port
on the VT-series terminal, as specified in the user instructions
included with the terminal.
