Using the Console Ports, NME Ports, and Auxiliary Ports

You can configure the Cisco ONS 15530 from a direct console connection to the console port or

remotely through its NME (network management Ethernet) port.

• If you are using a direct console connection, configure your terminal emulation program for

9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.

• If you are using the NME port interface, you must assign an IP address to the interface

(fastethernet 0).

For interface configuration instructions, see the “Configuring IP Access on the NME Interface”

section on page 3-3.

For further details on configuring ports and lines for management access, refer to the

Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

on the modem are required:

• Enable auto answer mode.

• Suppress result codes.

• Ensure auxiliary port terminal characteristics, such as speed, stop bits, and parity, match those of

the modem.
