3 Performing the Initial Configuration
38 Nokia EM5400 IP Security Platform (IP260 and IP265 Appliances) Installation Guide
Using a Console Connection
To perform the initial configuration of the Nokia EM5400 IP Security
Platform appliance, you must use a serial console connection (cable
included). After you perform the initial configuration, you no longer need the
console connection.
You can use any standard terminal or terminal emulator with an RS-232 data
terminal equipment (DTE) interface or terminal-emulation program
configured with the following settings for the console:
9600 bps
8 data bits
No parity
1 stop bit
To connect to the console
1. Connect the supplied null-modem cable (console cable) to the console
port on the front panel of the EM5400 appliance.
Use only the DB9 port labeled Console on the front panel; the serial port
(AUX) is an auxiliary modem port.
If you connect the console port to a data communications equipment
(DCE) device, use a straight-through cable.
