Initial Management Access 35
With an IP interface and either the in-band or the
out-of-band port, you use the rlogin or Telnet
commands to access the Administration Console
using TCP/IP from a host computer. You can also use
the IP interface to manage the system with an
external management application via SNMP or the
Web Management software.

The first time that you access your system, you
connect through the Console port using a terminal or
terminal emulator. These are the default settings for
this port: 9600 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, No parity.

the Console port, you see this prompt:

Use this menu to change the Console port baud
setting for the terminal or to configure your system
