If your network hardware does not match these defaults, you must
reconfigure the software. Refer to Chapter 20, "TERM Service
Parameters," in the Multiprotocol Communications Server Reference

Devices connect to the server for communications purposes through the
ten serial ports. An RBCS or TFTP server from which the
communications server boots over the network connects as part of the
network, through the Ethernet AUI connector.

Attaching RS-232 and RS-422 Serial Cables

Attach the serial cable to the server by inserting the connector into one
of the back panel serial ports labeled J0 through J9. Using a small
slotted screwdriver, tighten the screws on both sides of the connector.

Cabling a Console

The default console port is J0, and the default console port data rate is
9600 bps. Because port J0 is the default, you must attach the console to
this port the first time you configure your server. Table 2-1 lists the
default settings for the server's default console port, J0. Your terminal
must match these settings.
