ABLING

The PC to CyberSWITCH Connection

USING AN AMP CONNECTION

If you want to use out-of-band management, want a replacement for a LAN connection, or want

local console access, you need an asynchronous management port (AMP) connection.

OR OUT-OF-BAND MANAGEMENT

Out-of-band management allows you to manage the CyberSWITCH from some remote location

without making use of the LAN or WAN connections. Out-of-band refers to the fact that you are

not using normal data channels. The following graphic illustrates an out-of-band connection.

Connection instructions:

1. At the CyberSWITCH:

• complete your LAN and WAN (ISDN) connections

• using the

ampconf

Manage Mode command, configure the CyberSWITCH for the modem

you will use

• connect a modem to the CyberSWITCH (using the Console connection)

• connect the modem to the analog line (use a standard PC modem RS232 cable for this, do

not use the supplied cable)

2. At the remote management site:

• connect the managing PC to a modem

• connect the modem to the analog line (use a standard PC modem RS232 cable for this, do

not use the supplied cable)

OR LAN REPLACEMENT

There are two reasons for wanting a LAN replacement:

• to provide a connection to manage the CyberSWITCH without using a LAN connection, or

• no LAN connection is possible because your PC does not have a NIC card.

OR LOCAL CONSOLE ACCESS

You may use the AMP connection for local console access. With this type of access allows you to

use a directly connected PC, monitor, and keyboard to manage your CyberSWITCH.
