Logging in through the console port for the first time
To log in through the console port, make sure the console terminal has a terminal emulation program (for
example, HyperTerminal in Windows XP). In addition, the port settings of the terminal emulation
program must be the same as the default settings of the console port in
.

To log in through the console port from a console terminal (for example, a PC):
1.
Connect the DB-9 female connector of the console cable to the serial port of the PC.
2.
Connect the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the console port of the device.
If the console port is a mini USB port, use a USB cable to connect a terminal to the console port.
IMPORTANT:
•
Identify the mark on the console port and make sure you are connecting to the correct port.
•
The serial ports on PCs do not support hot swapping. If the device has been powered on, always
connect the console cable to the PC before connecting it to the device, and when you disconnect the
cable, first disconnect it from the device.
