Logging in through the Serial Console Port
On 3902, 3916, 3930, 3931, and 5150 switches, the serial console port
requires a null modem cable connected to a male DB-9 to male RJ-45 cable
to connect to the RJ-45 connector.
Other switches in the product family, such as the 3911, 3920, 3940, 3960, and
5140, support an EIA-232 connector requiring a DB-9 cable.
Before you begin, ensure the 3930 is powered on.
For information on provisioning commands for the serial-console interface,
see 39XX/51XX Command Reference.
For a procedure see “Logging in through the Serial Console Port” on page 3-8.
Creating a New User Account
The 3930 is preconfigured with default user accounts. The default user
accounts are common to all Ciena Carrier Ethernet products and are not
confidential. When you turn-up the system you need to configure new user
accounts and delete the default accounts in order to protect the system.
The default user accounts and passwords are summarized in Table 3-1.
