Control and LAN Ports
The control port is the middle RS-232 connector on the ASC line module. The connector is an RS-232
DB-25 (female). For this type of connectivity, the control terminal (PC or workstation) must support
TCP/IP using a SLIP serial connection. The control port must have been previously configured with an
IP address. The control terminal can be connected either locally or remotely using modems. When
entering command line commands through the control port, the user interface prompt appears when you
perform a
Telnet login to the ports IP address.
• The LAN port on the ASC is an Ethernet AUI port, and supports the same Telnet connections and
user interface prompt as the Control port.
• The control and LAN ports support Telnet (for CLI), TFTP, and SNMP sessions as indicated in
Table 3-1. Use of the control port is shown in Figure 3-2.
• If there are multiple devices to be configured, a terminal server that can dial out to multiple devices
can be used. Figure 3-3 illustrates a possible scenario for terminal server control port access.
• Figure 3-4 shows how the LAN port is connected.
