Configuring a Console Server
A console server may be configured at the appliance level through the command line interface
accessed through the CONSOLE or Ethernet port. All terminal commands are accessed through
a terminal or PC running terminal emulation software.

ReferenceGuide.
To connect a terminal to the console server:
1. Using a null modem cable, connect a terminal or a PC that is running terminal emulation
software (such as HyperTerminal
®
) to the CONSOLE port on the back panel of the console
server. An RJ-45 to DB9 (female) cross adaptor is provided.
The terminal settings are 9600 bits per second (bps), 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and no
flow control.
2. Turn on the console server. When the console server completes initialization, the terminal
will display the login banner plus the login prompt.

An authorized user can use a Telnet or SSH client to make a connection directly to the console
of a device if all of the following are true:
The Telnet or SSH:
• protocol is enabled in the selected security profile
• protocol is configured for the port
• client is available, and it is enabled on the computer from which the connection is made
To use Telnet to connect to a device through a serial port:
For this procedure, you need the username configured to access the serial port, the port name
(for example, 14-35-60-p-1), device name (for example, ttyS1), TCP port alias (for example,
7001) or IP port alias (for example, 100.0.0.100) and the hostname of the console server or its IP
address.
To use a Telnet client, enter the information in the dialog boxes of the client.
