How to Set Up the Local Console
Connect the unit to a local console and configure the initial settings for the Cisco SCE 8000 to support
remote management even if you are managing the Cisco SCE 8000 from a remote location. When the
initial connection is established, the setup utility runs automatically, prompting you to perform the initial
system configuration.
This section provides instructions for setting up your local terminal at your workstation, to enable you
to perform the initial system configuration of the Cisco SCE 8000 system using the setup utility.
Make sure that the terminal configuration is as follows:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• No Parity
• 1 stop bits
• No flow control
The preceding Cisco SCE 8000 port parameters are fixed and are not configurable.
Step 1 Plug the RS-232 serial cable provided with the Cisco SCE 8000 into the CON port on the front panel of
the Cisco SCE 8000-SCM-E. (See item 2 in Figure 5-1.)

Make sure that you push on the RJ-45 connector (attached to the RS-232 serial cable) until you hear a
“click”, which indicates that the connector is fully inserted and secured in the receptacle. Gently pull on
the plug to confirm whether the plug is locked into the socket.
Step 2 Connect the other end of the serial cable (with an attached DB-9 or DB-25 connector) to the VT100
compatible local (serial) terminal.
Step 3 Ensure the local terminal is configured as a VT-100 terminal, according to the fixed Cisco SCE 8000
CON port parameters.
Step 4 Ensure the Cisco SCE 8000 is powered-on, and has been allowed to complete booting (this process may
take several minutes).
Step 5 Press Enter several times until the Cisco logo appears on the local terminal.
