3.4 Configuration and Management Alternatives
After installation, there are no special operating procedures for LA-210. Once it is
powered up, the unit operates automatically. The unit operational status can be
monitored constantly.
If required, LA-210 can be reconfigured, using different ports and applications:
• Local out-of-band management via an ASCII terminal connected to the
RS-232 port. Usually, preliminary configuration of the system parameters is
performed via ASCII terminal. Once the LA-210 host IP parameters are set, it
is possible to access it via Telnet, ConfiguRAD or RADview for further
configuration.
• Remote inband management via user or the network ports. Remote
management is performed using Telnet, or ConfiguRAD (RAD’s Web-based
management application), or RADview (RAD’s SNMP-based management
system). Alternatively, LA-210 can be managed via a third-party SNMP-based
NMS (refer to
Chapter 6
for a list of traps).
Working with Terminal
LA-210 includes a V.24/RS-232 asynchronous DCE port designated CONTROL,
which is terminated in a 9-pin D-type female connector. The control port
continuously monitors the incoming data stream and immediately responds to
any input string received through this port.
The control port can be configured to communicate at the following rates: 9.6,
19.2, or 115.2 kbps.
³ To start a terminal control session:
1. Make sure all cables and connectors are properly connected.
2. Connect the unit to a PC equipped with an ASCII terminal emulation
application (for example, Windows Hyper Terminal or Procomm).
3. Turn on the control terminal PC and set its default port parameters to 9,600
baud, eight bits/character, one stop bit, and no parity.
4. Set the terminal emulator to ANSI emulation (for optimal view of system
menus).
5. Set the terminal emulator to view a 132-character screen width.
6. When the initialization and self-test are over, a menu appears displaying
initialization and self-test results.
