Follow-up Procedure
After connecting the console cable, configure the serial port communication software on the
management PC, so that you can log in to the command line interface (CLI) of the router. The
following procedure uses Windows 7 as an example.
The Windows 7 operating system does not provide the HyperTerminal software like other
Windows operations systems such as Windows 2000. You can download free HyperTerminal
software, such as PuTTY, from the Internet. The following example describes how to use the
PuTTY software.
1. Download the PuTTY software to the PC and double-click it to run the software.
2. Select Session and set Connection type to Serial.
3. Set serial port parameters.
4. Click Open. The router copyright statement is displayed. Enter the user name and
password as prompted to log in to the CLI of the router.
NOTE
The default user name is admin, and the default password is Admin@huawei.
For details on how to log in through the console port, see "Logging In to the System for the
First Time" in the Huawei AR500&AR530 Series Industrial Switch Routers - Basic
