Step 5: Connect A Management Terminal - 3Com 3C63400-3AC-C - PathBuilder S700 Switch Reference Manual

Step 5: Connect a
Management Terminal
In order to configure application connections and an IP address for SNMP support,
you must connect a management terminal to the PathBuilder S700. To do this, you
use the 10Base T, RS-232, and SLIP ports on the rear of the PathBuilder S700.
To connect a network management terminal, follow these steps:
1 Connect a VT 100 terminal to the RS-232 (console) port.
2 Use the VT100 terminal to input an IP address for the PathBuilder S700. See
"Setting up Communication Parameters" in Chapter 3, for details.
3 Establish communication between the PathBuilder S700 and any management
terminal in one of these ways:
Direct RS-232 using the VT100 terminal or VT100 emulator, as described above
n
Direct 10BaseT using an IP Telnet session
n
SLIP or PPP over a dialup network using an IP Telnet session
