5.3.3 Telnet Connections
Once the module or chassis has a valid IP address, the user can establish a
Telnet session with Local Management from any TCP/IP based node on
the network. Telnet connections to the 6H12X-08 require the community
name passwords assigned at the SNMP Community Names screen of
either the 6C105 chassis or the module. For additional information about
community names, refer to Section 5.8. Refer to the instructions included
with the Telnet application for information about establishing a Telnet
session.
5.3.4 Monitoring an Uninterruptible Power Supply
If the 6C105 chassis is connected to an American Power Conversion
(APC) Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) device for protection against
the loss of power, a connection from the 6H12X-08 COM port to the UPS
can be made to monitor the power status of the UPS. To use the COM port
for this purpose, it must be reconfigured to support the UPS connection
using the procedure described in Section 5.15.11. Refer to the UPS
documentation for details on how to access the status information.
The Console Cable Kit provided with the 6H12X-08 is used to attach the
UPS to the 6H12X-08 COM port as shown in Figure 5-2.
To connect the UPS device to the COM port of the 6H12X-08, proceed as
follows:
1. Connect the RJ45 connector at one end of the cable to the COM port
on the module.
2. Plug the RJ45 connector at the other end of the cable into the
RJ45-to-DB9 male (UPS) adapter, Cabletron Systems Part No.
9372066.
3. Connect the RJ45-to-DB9 male (UPS) adapter to the female DB9 port
on the rear of the UPS device (see the particular UPS device’s user
instructions for more specific information about the monitoring
connection).
