Cabling the Console Port
The Console port on the back panel provides local or
remote administration:
For Local Administration — The Console port
provides a DB-9 connection to a local terminal or
workstation that runs a terminal emulation
program and acts as the Console.
For Remote Administration — The Console port
provides a DB-9 connection for an external
modem, which you can use to connect your
current Administration Console session to a
modem.
To cable the Console port:
Attach the female DB-9 cable connector to the
1
Console port's male connector and tighten the
retaining screws.
Attach the other end of the DB-9 cable to your
2
terminal.
Figure 13 on page 32 shows the cabling of the
Console port.
You can also access the system remotely through any
Ethernet port using telnet. See the Implementation
Guide.
To use the Administration Console to configure the
system for management access through the Console
