session for the first time or after changing a terminal data rate, RIC-155 must
detect the data rate at boot-up and save it in the database. Once the terminal data
rate is saved, it is detected automatically during each consecutive terminal session.
Preparing the Terminal
Any standard ASCII terminal (a “dumb” terminal or a personal computer running
a terminal emulation application) equipped with a V.24/RS-232 communication
interface can be used to configure RIC-155. Appendix A details the pin assignment
and control signal directions of the RIC-155 control connector.
Starting Terminal Session for a First Time
To start a terminal session:
1. Connect a terminal cross-cable to the CONTROL connector of RIC-155.
2. Start a terminal application and configure the terminal link as follows:
Terminal emulation – VT100
Screen width – more than 80 characters.
3. Power RIC-155 up.
The SIG LED (green) blinks during software extraction and hardware
initialization.
4. When the ALM LED (red) starts blinking, press <Enter> several times.
RIC-155 automatically adjusts itself to the current terminal baud rate and
responds with a string of dots.
5. Type several dots.
When the hardware initialization is completed, the SIG and ALM LEDs
flash rapidly six times.
6. Press <Enter> to display the user name and password entry form.
7. Enter your user name and password and proceed with the management
session.
The RIC-155 default user names are SU and USER, default password is 1234.
Managing RIC-155 via Ethernet Ports
RIC-155 is equipped with a management Ethernet port (MNG) which enables
communication with RIC-155 management subsystem using the IP protocol. The
Ethernet management port is configured for LAN cross-over connection.
To prepare RIC-155 for network management:
1. Connect a LAN network management station to the RIC-155 Ethernet port
designated MNG.
2.
Configure IP host parameters of the RIC-155 units via an ASCII terminal.
3.
Run an SNMP management application, such as RAD’s RADview-Lite, open
Telnet session, or manage RIC-155 via a Web browser (ConfiguRAD).
