System Logon; Secure And Nonsecure Protocols - Avaya 5900 Series Quick Start Configuration

To use the console port, you need the following equipment:
• A terminal or TeleTypewriter (TTY)-compatible terminal, or a portable computer with a serial
port and terminal-emulation software.
• An Underwriters Laboratories (UL)-listed straight-through or null modem RS-232 cable with a
female DB-9 connector for the console port on the switch. The other end of the cable must use
a connector appropriate to the serial port on your computer or terminal.
You must shield the cable that connects to the console port to comply with emissions regulations
and requirements.
