NOTE: You must have a password configured on a virtual terminal line before you can Telnet into

the first time. Before starting this procedure, be sure that you have a terminal emulation program
already installed on your PC.

console port to a terminal server.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the DTE terminal server.
3. Set the default terminal settings as follows.

• No parity
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• No flow control
