SLIP Mode
The setup procedure of SLIP mode console is as follows:
1. Establish normal mode connection
In order to have SLIP mode connection, some parameters are needed,
such as an IP address. Then establish normal mode connection at first
based on the procedure described in the setup procedure of Normal
mode.
2. Set up the console parameters
You need to define local (IBM 8285) and remote (terminal) IP address for
the SLIP protocol using the SET TERMINAL SLIP_ADDRESS command.
And if you use a baud rate other than 9600bps, change the rate using the
SET TERMINAL BAUD command.
3. Change the operating mode
The operating mode of the configuration console is either ASCII or SLIP
mode and they are exclusive. You need to change the mode from
normal to SLIP since the default setting is normal mode. You can
change the mode using SET TERMINAL CONSOLE-PORT-PROTOCOL
SLIP command.
The console automatically returns to normal mode if no activity takes
place for a period of 20 minutes or if the IBM 8285 resets.
4. Access the IBM 8285
When the previous procedure completed, try to access the IBM 8285. In
SLIP mode, you need to start a Telnet session to the IBM 8285. The
logon procedure is the same as for the normal mode.
