Console Connection
The Console port, located on the bottom panel (Figure 16), is intended for administrative functions, and its use
is optional. It uses a terminal emulator or a computer with terminal emulation software, connected as follows:
•
DB9 connector connected to computer COM port
•
Baud rate: 115,200bps
•
8 data bits, 1 stop bit
•
No parity
•
No flow control
To connect the host PC to the Console port, an RJ45 (male) connector-to-RS232 DB9 (female) connector cable
is required. The RJ45 connector of the cable is connected to the Console port of GLM Series; the DB9
connector of the cable is connected to the PC COM port. The wiring for this cable is shown in Figure 17.
Console connections should not be permanent. Once any administrative functions
have been performed, disconnect the PC used for that purpose. Leaving a
computer connected would expose the application to security risks. Refer to the
PACSystems RXi, RX3i, RX7i and RSTi-EP Controller Secure Deployment Guide,
GFK-2830.
Caution
Refer to Appendix A, Command Language Interface (CLI), for related commands and syntax.
