Installation and Configuration
42
Making a Direct Connection to Configure the
Network Parameters.
Perform the following steps to connect a terminal or a computer to the console
port of the ACS.
On a PC, ensure that HyperTerminal or another terminal emulation program is
installed on the Windows operating system. On a computer running a UNIX-
based operating system, such as Solaris or Linux, make sure that a compatible
terminal emulator such as Kermit or Minicom is installed.
T To Connect to the Console Port
You can use a CAT-5 straight-through cable with RJ-45 connectors and the
appropriate adapter provided in the product box to assemble a console cable.
All adapters have an RJ-45 connector on one end and either a DB25 or DB9
male or female connector on the other end.
1. Connect the RJ-45 end of the cable to the port labeled “Console” on the
ACS.
2. Connect the adapter end of the cable to the console port of your server or
device.
3. Install and launch your serial communication software on a terminal or a
computer. For example, if you are using a PC, use HyperTerminal to
perform the initial configuration of the ACS directly through your PC’s
COM port.
4. Open HyperTerminal. Start > All Programs > Accessories >
Communications > HyperTerminal
5. Start a New Connection session, select an available COM port, and enter
the following console parameters.
• Bits per second: 9600 bps
• Data bits: 8 bits
• Parity: None
• Stop bit: 1
• Flow control: None
