RS-232 Console Port
The 9-pin RS-232 Console port (the topmost RS-232 port on the front panel) is a DTE
male connector (DB-9) to which a console or modem is connected in order to:
Initialize the 6416SW module at installation.
Enter 6416SW network management commands (described in the
ONcore
Switching Hub/CELLplex 4000 ATM Command Reference Guide
).
Download new software versions.
An RTS signal is not continuously sent by the 6416SW module. If you attach a terminal
(such as an IBM 3151 or 3164) you should configure it with IPRTS (Induced Permanent
RTS) for Line Control.
