Connecting to the Console Port

A console is a combination of keyboard and monitor, and is used to configure settings and to
monitor the status of your system. If you do not have a network environment, use a terminal, a PC
running UNIX, or a PC with terminal emulation software (e.g., HyperTerminal in Windows;
PComm by Moxa, parameters setting as baud rate: 115200bps, parity check: None, data bit: 8,
stop bit 1, terminal type: VT100). Use an RJ45-to-DB25 or to DB9 cable to connect the terminal
to the console socket.

Entering Console Utility

Console Utility is the main application needed to set up the server/port configuration, and to
execute utilities such as ping, diagnosis, monitor, and upgrade. There are two ways to enter
Console Utility. One is to use terminal emulation through a console terminal, and the other is to
telnet from a network terminal.
There are two ways to enter Console Utility. If your network is already setup, you can use Windows
utility to find and then telnet to CN2510's IP address. If your network environment is not setup yet,
NOTE
you should use Moxa PComm Terminal to establish a direct console connection.
