Steps

1. Connect the serial cable from your workstation directly to the serial port of the NPM or the NPM2
in slot 1 of the VMG.
2. At the console, open a terminal emulation program with the following parameters:
19,200 bits per second
data bits=8
parity=0
stop bits=1
flow control=NONE
3. Tap the <ENTER> key several times to receive a prompt.
Note: If the Selenio VMG has just been powered on (or the NPM has been inserted in the chassis), boot
messages will be displayed. There are three sets of messages:
- The first set comes from startup of the OS kernel and the device drivers.
- The second set consists of internal communications.
- The third set comes from the startup up of video applications.
4. If or when the boot messages have finished scrolling, the console program will be displayed.
Tapping <ENTER> should re-display the TCON console program menu.
