Using A Direct Serial Connection - HP AdvanceStack 10Base-T Hub-12 Installation And Reference Manual

Using a Direct Serial Connection

The out-of-band management port on the hub is a 9-pin serial (RS-232-C)
port used to connect the hub to the personal computer or terminal. Note
that you must have an HP Ethernet SNMP Module installed in the hub
to use the ASCII console.
To connect to the PC or terminal through the out-of-band management
port:
1. Attach the console cable (5182-4794) supplied with the hub to the
out-of-band management port on the front of the hub. Attach the
other end of the serial cable to an available 9-pin serial port on the
personal computer or 25-pin serial port on the terminal. If only a
25-pin serial port is available, use a 9-pin-to-25-pin port adapter
(not supplied).
2. For HP Stack Manager, define the out-of-band port's data commu-
nication settings using the "Communications Settings" function in
HP Stack Manager. See the HP Stack Manager online help for more
information.
