RICi-622GE Ver. 1.0 Configuration and Management Alternatives 3-7

• Remote inband management via the first user port. Remote management is

performed using Telnet, ConfiguRAD (RAD’s Web-based application), or an

SNMP-based management system).

The RICi-622GE management software supports the following functions:

• Viewing system information

• Modifying configuration parameters and modes of operation, including

setting system default values and resetting the unit

• Monitoring RICi-622GE performance

• Initiating connectivity tests

• Uploading and downloading software and configuration files.

Working with Terminal

RICi-622GE has a V.24/RS-232 asynchronous DCE port, designated CONTROL and

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 RICi-622GE 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 RICi-622GE cables and connectors are properly connected.

2. Connect RICi-622GE 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 port parameters to:

115,200 baud, 8 bits/character, 1 stop bit, no parity, flow control: none.

4. Set the terminal emulator to ANSI VT100 emulation (for optimal view of

system menus).

5. If you are using Hyper Terminal, set the terminal mode to 132 column mode

for optimal view of system menus

(Properties->Settings->Terminal Setup->132 column mode).

6. When the initialization and self-test are over, press any key to display the
