MX410/MX412 System Manual Remote Management of Other Systems using Terminal Server Ports and Ethernet Connectivity
61189500L1-1B PRELIMINARY 3-19
Setup
First, connect the RS-232 craft port on the other equipment to the MX410 terminal server
port. The pin assignments for each of the RS-232 interfaces are listed in the PORT 1-4
Terminal Server port pin list in Table 4-5 on page 4-8.
The default settings for the terminal server ports are 9600 bps 8 data bits with no parity.
These settings must match the craft port settings of the other equipment for the application to
work. Baud Rate can be changed in the MX410 Terminal Server menus under Provisioning.
Refer to “Terminal Server Ports Menu” on page 5-25 for more information.
Then, establish a Telnet session to the MX410 with the port number for the particular port to
access the other equipment. The default IP address for the MX410 is 192.168.100.1 with a
subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. The port numbers default to 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026
respectively, for each of the four ports. Once the session is established the default username
for each port is “port #” (where # is the number of the port) and the default password is
“password”.
For Ethernet based devices, simply assign a static IP address to the other equipment (or
enable the DHCP server to provide one) and connect its Ethernet port to one of the four switch
ports (Ethernet 1 - 4) on the front panel for the MX410. Refer to “DHCP Server Menu” on
page 5-34 for more information about DHCP servers.
