Connecting a Service Port Terminal

2-14 Remote Annex 5393/PRI Hardware Installation Guide
If your network does not include a BootP server, you must connect a
terminal to the service port on the System 5000 chassis front panel
and manually configure the Remote Annex before booting.
To configure the Remote Annex through the chassis service port, you
need:
A TTY-compatible terminal or a portable computer with a
serial port and the ability to emulate a TTY-compatible
terminal. The terminal should be set up for:
9600 b/s (default)
8 data bits
No parity
1 stop bit
No handshaking
ASCII
An RS-232 modem cable with a female DB-9 connector to
connect to the service port on the chassis front panel. The
other end of the cable must have a connector appropriate to
the serial port on your computer or terminal. (Most terminals
or computers use a male DB-9 or DB-25 connector.) The cable
should use the pin assignments in Table 2-3.
