General Conﬁguration Screen

6E123-50 and 6E133-49 User’s Guide 5-43

In STAND ALONE mode, the module is isolated from the chassis

conﬁguration screens, and the module may not be accessed from a module

that is in DISTRIBUTED mode. This provides additional security for any

module to which the user may wish to restrict access.

Section 5.15.10

describes how to set the Management Mode.

Com (Toggle)

This ﬁeld allows the user to enable or disable the COM port. The

selection toggles between ENABLED and DISABLED. The default is

ENABLED. For details about setting up the COM port, refer to

Section 5.15.11.

Application (Toggle)

Displays the application set for the COM port. This ﬁeld allows you to set

the application that the COM port will support, which includes:

• Local Management (LM) via a terminal or modem connection

• Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

The UPS setting allows you to use the COM port to monitor an American

Power Conversion Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). For UPS, the

baud rate is automatically set to 2400.

The baud rate setting for LM is automatically sensed.

For details about how to conﬁgure the COM port for various applications,

refer to Section 5.15.11.

NOTE

If the user is establishing a remote connection, such as a Telnet

or SNMP connection, using the IP address of the module, the

chassis LM screens will not be available. To access the chassis

LM screens, the IP address of the chassis must be used to

establish the connection.
