To connect to the CLI using a local management device through the console port on
the services gateway:
1. Turn off power to the services gateway.
2. Turn off power to the management device, such as a PC or laptop computer,
that you are using to access the CLI.
3. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable supplied with your services gateway into the
RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter supplied with your services gateway (see Figure
14 on page 62).
4. Plug the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter into the serial port on the management
device (see Figure 14 on page 62).
5. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the console port on the services
gateway (see Figure 14 on page 62).
6. Turn on the power to the management device.
7. Start your asynchronous terminal emulation application (such as Microsoft
Windows HyperTerminal) and select the appropriate COM port to use (for
example, COM1).
8. Configure the port settings shown in Table 21 on page 63.
