22 Communicating with the system
Connecting to the Media Card RS-232 maintenance port
Connect a serial cable either to the rear P2 connector or to the faceplate
connector, but not both. The card's hardware cannot support two devices
connected at the same time.
The terminal device should be configured to 9600, 8, N, 1. Configure the
flow control to "None" or a similar setting.
If the hardware flow control is enabled, you see information from the card
but the card does not respond to any keystrokes. If this happens, ensure
the flow control is set to "None", close the session, and reopen it.
