Connecting to the Management Port
This procedure assumes that a terminal (or PC with terminal-emulation software) is connected to
the RS-232 Management Port on the connector panel of the Wide Bank. The Wide Bank’s RS-232
port is a DCE port with DB9 Female connector.
Set terminal program for:
 9600 baud
 8 data bits
 No stop bits
 1 parity bit
 No flow control
Note that when you are using the Command Line Interface for the following procedures, the screen
will often stop with a final prompt of “more.” This means that all the information has not yet been
printed to the screen. You can view the rest of the information by:
 Pressing Enter key to display the next line
 Pressing Space Bar to display the next page of information
You can also change the number of lines that are displayed using the screen [n] command where n
is the desired number of lines to display. A screen 0 command will cause all information to be
printed to the screen without stopping.
