IP700 Series Installation Guide
Connecting to the Console
The IP700 Series appliance requires a serial console connection for initial
configuration and occasional maintenance (cable included). The console
port on the IP700 Series appliance provides the following:
•
RS-232 data terminal equipment (DTE) interface (cable included)
•
8 data bits
•
No parity
•
1 stop bit
•
9600 bps
Once you initialize the system, the console connection is no longer
required.
NOTE:
If you used DHCP to configure the system, you can skip these
instructions.
To connect to the console, follow these steps:
1.
Select a console from the following list:
•
Any standard VT100-compatible terminal
•
A DOS or Windows computer or laptop running a terminal
emulation program
•
A UNIX workstation
2.
Connect a null-modem cable (console cable) to the local console port
on the front panel of the IP700 Series appliance.
NOTE:
Use the left port; the right port is an auxiliary modem port.
