T To Access the Console
Perform the following steps to connect a computer to the console port of the
AlterPath PM. This procedure assumes that you know how to use a terminal
emulation program.
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.
1. Connect an RJ-45 serial cable to the IN port on the AlterPath PM.
2. Connect the other end of the RJ-45 serial cable to an RJ-45 to DB-9F
adapter shipped with the PM.
3. Connect the adapter to a DB-9 serial port on a computer.
You may need to use a USB serial adapter in order to connect to the
computer.
4. Using a terminal emulation program installed on a computer, start a
session with the following console port settings:
Serial Speed: 9600 bps Stop Bits: 1
Data Length: 8 bits Flow Control: None
Parity: None ANSI emulation
