Connecting to the 6000/7000 Appliances CLI
To connect to the command line interface of a 6000/7000 appliance, use one of these:
n An SSH connection to the management interface (if SSHD is configured).
n A serial console cable and terminal emulation software, such as PuTTY (from Windows) or
Minicom (from Unix/Linux).
6000/7000 Appliances support these serial console connectivity options:
l Mini USB - Using the included mini USB to USB console cable in 6500/6800 appliances
l USB Type-C - Using the included USB Type-C console cable in 6200, 6400, 6600, 6700,
6900, and 7000 appliances
l RJ45 - Using the included RJ-45 to DB9 serial console cable
Connection parameters are: 9600bps, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit (8N1), Flow Control - None.
If you use both the mini USB/USB Type-C (depending on the appliance) and RJ45 console
ports, the mini USB port/USB Type-C has priority. To use the RJ45 port, disconnect the mini
USB/USB Type-C console cable.
When you have completed using the RJ45 port, reconnect the miniUSB/USB Type-C console
cable.
Note - To use the miniUSB/USB Type-C console port, a driver must be installed
on the console client machine (desktop/laptop). For installation instructions and
download link, see the appliance home page.
