General Requirements
To manage the system, you need the following items for serial connection to the switch or router:
• A management station, such as a PC running a terminal emulation application.
• A straight-through EIA/TIA DB-9 serial cable (F/F). The serial cable can be ordered separately from Foundry
Networks. If you prefer to build your own cable, see the pinout information in “Attaching a PC or Terminal” on
page 3-16.
You use the serial connection to perform basic configuration tasks, including assigning an IP address and network
mask to the system. This information is required to manage the system using the Web management interface or
IronView Network Manager or using the CLI through Telnet.
