If the customer has decided to use the serial lines to control an ES47 cabinet that
has 4 separate 2P systems, each system (drawer) must have its own PC
connected to the MBM serial port or each serial port connected to a terminal
server connected to a PC running telnet sessions. With this type of connection,
the PC(s) has direct access to the MBM and can power on/off/reset the system
using MBM> commands.
Making the hardware connection:
In this case, the serial port on the top of the each 2P drawer is connected to the
serial port on a PC or laptop or is connected to a terminal server. This procedure
assumes the latter configuration.
1. Connect each the serial port in the each 2P drawer to a terminal server.
2. Connect the serial port of your PC or laptop to the terminal server.
Refer to the terminal server documentation for configuration information.
Setting up the PC/laptop:
