Appendix-A : Managing the Black Box® LB1351A
1.Preface
This appendix provides you with the necessary information for managing the
Black Box® LB1351A Traffic Aggregator (monitor and control).
In order to start managing your Black Box® LB1351A
you need to setup the
management module parameters (section 2). In addition you will need to set proper
network connection (section 3) and to install the attached MIB file (section 4).
After the management parameters are set, you can manage the Black Box®
LB1351A
in either of two ways: using SNMP (through a standard management
station – section 5) and using a Terminal (section 6).
2.Setting Up Management Parameters

Have available a PC equipped with any terminal emulation program (any ASCII
terminal).
Use the supplied control cable to connect the converter to the PC: connect the
miniDIN end of the cable to the RS232 port on the converter and the other end to
an available DB9 (male) connector on the PC.
Configure the terminal emulation program as follows:
• baud rate: 9600
• parity: none
• start bits: 1
• stop bits: 1
• flow control: none
Start the terminal emulation then reset the device.
