Using A Data Switching Device - HP J2415A Installation And Reference Manual

Using a Data Switching Device

In some installations, the management console PC may access the hub
through a data switching device (such as a Data Switch, Data Terminal, PBX
switch, or X.25 PAD). The hub will be connected directly to one port of the
data switch, while the management console may be connected directly or
through a modem link to another port of the data switch.
HP Stack Manager provides a simple terminal capability that allows
command strings to be sent to the data switch for configuration. To access
this feature, proceed as follows:
1. Use the "Communications" screen under the "Settings" pull-down menu
to set up either your direct or modem link communication settings. (If
you need to configure modems, refer to "Using a Modem Connection"
described previously.)
2. Select the "Add Terminal Support" under the "Settings" pull-down menu.
This will add several new buttons to the HP Stack Manager main screen
that allow you to connect and logon to the hub, [Open Terminal] and
[Close Terminal].
When needed, pressing [Open Terminal] will provide a simple terminal
capability for sending text strings to the data switching device.
See the HP Stack Manager online help for button definitions and more
specific instructions.
