Configuring the Management Interface via Console Port
The E3120 must be upgraded to the latest ExtremeCloud Appliance firmware before installing the
appliance on the network.
1 Connect the laptop to the E3120 console port. If the laptop does not support RS232 interface, then
obtain a 'USB to RS232' converter cable, which then connects to the RJ45- DB9F cable.
2 Using PuTTY, TeraTerm, or another terminal emulator, connect to the serial port connection.
Be sure that your serial connection is set properly:
•
115200 baud
•
8 data bits
•
1 stop bit
•
Parity none
•
Flow control none
3 Using the console session, perform the following:
•
At the password prompt, enter user as: admin
•
For the initial password, enter: abc123
•
Press ENTER.
4 Read the configuration script paragraph carefully. The configuration script will walk you through
configuring the following:
•
Admin Password
•
Host Attributes Settings
•
Time Settings
•

5 At the end of each session, enter Yes to move to the next session. If you enter No, the session
configuration options are repeated.
6 Press ENTER.
7 The Appliance Post Installation Configuration Menu pops up after the last session is applied. Enter A
to apply settings and exit or other number for repeating the setup.
