Using A Console Connection; Required Configuration - Juniper NetScreen-5GT Wireless User Manual

Using a Console Connection

The Console port on the NetScreen-5GT Wireless device allows you to access the device
through a serial cable connected to your workstation or terminal. To configure the device
using a console connection, enter ScreenOS CLI commands on your terminal or in a
terminal emulation program on your workstation.
Note: For the console connection, use a serial cable with a male RJ-45 connector on one
end and female DB-9 connector on the other end. See
connector pinouts for the serial cable.
To establish a console connection:
1. Plug the female DB-9 end of the serial cable into the serial port of your
computer. (Be sure that the DB-9 connector is seated properly in the port.)
2. Plug the other end of the DB-9 connector into the RJ-45 DB-9 port. (Be sure that
the DB-9 connector is seated properly in the RJ-45 DB-9 port.)
3. Plug the male RJ-45 end of the serial cable into the Console port of the
NetScreen-5GT Wireless device. (Be sure that the RJ-45 connector is seated
properly in the port.)
4. Launch a serial terminal emulation program. (A commonly-used terminal
program is Hilgreave HyperTerminal.) The required settings to launch a console
session with your NetScreen-5GT Wireless device are as follows:

5. If you have not yet changed the default user name and password, enter
netscreen in both the login and password prompts. (Use lowercase letters
