Chapter 4  Booting and Configuration 

4.1  Booting 

You can only configure the security gateway through the console port when you use it 
for the first time. 

4.1.1  Setting up a Configuration Environment 

I. Connecting the device to a console terminal 

Connect the RJ45 connector of the console cable to the console port on the security 
gateway and the DB9 connector to the serial port on the console terminal, as shown in 
Figure 4-1.

Local configuration through the console port 

II. Setting terminal parameters 

Follow these steps to set terminal parameters on the console terminal, a PC running 
Windows98 for example: 

Step 1: Start the PC and select [Start/Programs/Accessories/Communications/HyperTe
rminal].  

The HyperTerminal window displays the Connection Description dialog box, as shown 
in Figure 4-2
