Connecting to the Console Port
Connect a PC serial port to the console port for local administrative access to the
SN 5428 Storage Router. The PC must support VT100 terminal emulation. The
terminal-emulation software—frequently a PC application such as
HyperTerminal or Procomm Plus—makes communication between the storage
router and your PC possible during setup and configuration.
Perform the following steps to connect to the console port:
Step 1
Configure the PC terminal emulation program to match these console port default
characteristics:
Step 2
Connect the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 female adapter to the PC serial port.
Step 3
Connect one end of the supplied console cable (a rollover RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable)
to the console port. Connect the other end to the RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter at the PC
serial port. (See
Figure 2-18
