Logging In And Performing Basic Configurations; Logging In To The Cli Through The Console Port; Connecting The Terminal To The Utm Device - H3C SecPath U200 Series Installation Manual

Logging in and performing basic
configurations
The first time you access the UTM device, you can log in to the CLI through the console port or log in to
the Web interface by using a Web browser. After login, you can configure Telnet for remote access.

Logging in to the CLI through the console port

To log in to the CLI through the console port, you must have a console cable and a terminal (for example,
a PC).
The terminal can be any character terminal with an RS-232 port or a PC. Typically, a PC running a
terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal on a Windows operating system) is used. In the
following sections, a PC running Windows XP HyperTerminal is used.
The console cable can be an 8-core shielded cable that has an RJ-45 connector at one end for
connecting to the console port of the UTM device and a DB-9 female connector at the other end for
connecting to the serial port on the terminal.

Connecting the terminal to the UTM device

1. Plug the DB-9 female connector of the console cable to the serial port of the PC.
2. Plug the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the console port of the UTM device.

IMPORTANT:
Identify the mark on the console port and make sure you are connecting to the correct port.
•
• The serial ports on PCs do not support hot swapping. If the UTM device has been powered on, always
connect the console cable to the PC before connecting it to the UTM device, and when you disconnect
the cable, first disconnect it from the UTM device.
