Introduction
This chapter explains how to connect the SCE8000 GBE Service Control Module (SCE8000-SCM-E)
to a local console and perform the initial system configuration via the setup wizard that runs
automatically.
Additionally, this chapter contains instructions for cabling the 10/100/1000 Ethernet management
interface.
The Console interface (CON) as well as the management interface (Port1) are located on the

How to Set Up the Local Console
Even if you will be managing the Cisco SCE8000 GBE from a remote location, you must first connect
the unit to a local console and configure the initial settings for the Cisco SCE8000 GBE to support
remote management. When the initial connection is established, the setup utility will run 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 SCE8000 GBE 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 above Cisco SCE8000 GBE port parameters are fixed and are not configurable.
