Appendix A. Access Methods and Attaching an ASCII
Terminal
To run the menu-driven diagnostics, you must attach an ASCII terminal to the
| service port of the IBM 2210. This chapter explains how to access the IBM 2210’s
| operational and configuration software. The chapter also lists the ASCII terminals
| that are supported and provides information about setup attributes.
|
Access Methods
| The IBM 2210 software must be configured as part of the installation process.
| Therefore, you have to access the software in one of the following ways:
| Locally through a null-modem adapter and serial cables supplied with this
| product that are attached to the EIA-232 service port using an ASCII con-
| nection. See Figure A-1.
| Remotely using dial-in (over telephone lines) through a modem attached to the
| EIA-232 primary service port or the secondary service port, if installed. You can
| also use an ASCII connection. The secondary service port can be either an
| EIA-232 Service Port Feature or a 14.4 Kbps Modem Port Feature. See
| Figure A-2 on page A-2 and Figure A-3 on page A-2.
| An ASCII connection requires an ASCII terminal or workstation running an ASCII
| terminal emulator.
| Once the IBM 2210 is operational in the network, you can access the IBM 2210 by
| Telnetting from a network-connected workstation. This workstation must be
| attached to any of the IBM 2210’s IP-capable network interfaces. The network inter-
| face can be on a LAN adapter or WAN adapter because both support IP routing.
| The Telnet workstation can be locally or remotely connected.
