405.0. "Interface of the OBM port on DH900?" by ARRODS::GILLJ (John, DTN 847-5849) Thu Sep 30 1993 07:13

    
    Can someone tell me what interface is provided on the out of band
    management port of the DEChub 900?  Is it RJ45, RS232 or something
    else.
    
    Thanks 
    
    John

	The OBM is RS232 DB9 connector. It is a SLIP port only, no character cell. The DH900 also has a setup port on it, it is RJ45. The setup port has very limited functionality, like setting up the in/out-of-band mgmt port IP address, setting obm port speed, reseting the DH900 and redirecting the console to a DH900 module.
405.2	Pin-Out?	ARRODS::GILLJ	John, DTN 847-5849	`Mon Oct 04 1993 08:37`	5
	Could anyone confirm that the pin-out standard RS232? Thanks John

	It is RS232 with a DB9 connector. I have connected the OBM with a H8571-J and BN24H cable to DS900 SLIP port and have made a connection to with HUBwatch.
405.4	OBM port connector	QUIVER::SLAWRENCE		`Thu Oct 07 1993 15:38`	6
	'standard' RS-232 uses a DB25 connector. The OBM port uses RS-232 signaling on a DB9 connector. This is what IBM PC/Clones do; modem cables made for a PC will work for connecting to a modem; the cable combination in 405.3 will work for connecting to any of the DEC terminal servers that provide SLIP.
