Disconnecting Power
To power down the hub, disconnect the power cord from the power source. Do
not power down the hub by disconnecting the power cord from the back of the
hub.
Connecting to the Serial Port
To enable management of the hub, you must first set its IP address (See Chapter
4 – “Setting the IP Address”). One way to set the IP address is through the hub's
built-in VT100 interface. To use this interface, you must connect a workstation
to the hub’s serial port using a null modem (to set the IP address locally) or to a
regular modem (to set the IP address remotely). The serial cable has a DB-9
connector at each end. Figure 3-9 shows a connection to a workstation using a
null modem. Figure 3-10 shows an Example of a connection to a workstation
via a regular modem.
