6.4 Accessing via the Console Port
To access a SmartNode via its console port the host computer must be connected directly to the
console port (labeled CONSOLE) with a serial cable (see Figure 6-1). On the host a terminal
emulation application which supports the serial interface must be used.
Note:
IP settings do not need to be configured if you access the SmartNode over the console port.
Figure 6-1: Setup For Initial Configuration via the Console Port
6.4.1 Console Port Procedure
Before you begin to use the CLI to enter configuration commands, carry out these five steps:
Step 1
Set up the hardware as described in the
Hardware Installation Guide
.
Step 2
Configure your serial terminal for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 start bit, 1 stop
bit, and no flow control.
Step 3
Connect the serial terminal to your SmartNode. Use a serial cable according to
Appendix A of the
Hardware Installation Guide
.
Step 4
Power on your SmartNode. A series of boot messages are displayed on the terminal
screen. At the end of the boot sequence press the ’Return’ key and the login screen will
be displayed
Step 5
Proceed with logging in
6.5 Accessing via a Telnet Session
This is the most usual method to connect to a SmartNode. The Telnet host accesses the SmartNode
via its network interface. A host can be connected directly to the ETH 1 port (LAN) with a crossover
cable (see Figure 6-2 A) or through an Ethernet hub with two straight cables (see Figure 6-2 B).
Note
: If the IP configuration of the Ethernet port (LAN port) is not known or is wrongly configured
you must use the console interface.
