Using the VT100 Interface
After you set the IP address for the hub, you can use the hub’s VT100 interface
to view statistics, set specific configuration parameters, and download
firmware. The interface’s quick access to menu option screens makes it an
excellent way to manage the hub if you are unfamiliar with graphical user
interfaces (GUIs) or your workstation does not have Compaq Netelligent
Management Software installed.
Connecting the Hub for VT100
To access the VT100 interface, connect the hub to a workstation using any one
of the following communication methods:
■
Direct serial port connection using a modem or a null modem cable (See
Chapter 3 – “Installing the Hub” for information about connecting to the
serial port.)
■
Telnet over IP via an Ethernet connection
■
Telnet over SLIP via the serial port connection using a modem or a null
modem cable as listed above
Setting Up the
Communications Program
You can use a terminal emulator (such as Windows HyperTerminal) or a
standard Telnet application to view the VT100 screens. If you use a terminal
emulator, set the port settings as follows:
■
9600 bits per second
■
8 data bits
■
No parity
■
1 stop bit
■
No flow control
