Using a console session on the serial port

Note the following behaviors for serial connections:
• Some procedures require that you connect through the serial port; for example, setting the IP address or
setting the boot PROM password.
• If secure mode is enabled, connect through the serial port of the primary FCS switch.
• SAN Director 2/128 and 4/256 SAN Director: You can connect to CP0 or CP1 using either of
the two serial ports.

How to connect via the serial port

1. Connect the serial cable to the serial port on the switch and to an RS-232 serial port on the workstation.
If the serial port on the workstation is RJ-45 instead of RS-232, remove the adapter on the end of the
serial cable and insert the exposed RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 serial port on the workstation.
2. Open a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal on a PC, or TERM, TIP, or Kermit in a
UNIX environment), and configure the application as follows:
• In a Windows environment:
Parameter
Bits per second 9600
Databits
Parity
Stop bits
Flow control
• In a UNIX environment, enter the following string at the prompt: tip /dev/ttyb -9600.
If ttyb is already in use, you can use ttya (enter tip /dev/ttya -9600).

Setting the default account passwords

The switch automatically prompts you to change the default account passwords after logging in for the first
time. If you do not change the passwords, the switch prompts you after each subsequent login until all the
default passwords have been changed.
NOTE: The default account passwords can be changed from their original value only when prompted
immediately following the login only; the passwords cannot be changed using the passwd command later
in the session. If you skip the prompt, but later decide to change the passwords, log out and back in.
The default accounts on the switch are admin, user, root, and factory. Use the default administrative
account as shown in
tasks described in this chapter.
