To configure LAN parameters using a serial connection

The E5900B emulation probe has a 9600 baud RS-232 serial interface with an
RJ12 connector.
The emulation probe is shipped with a serial cable (with RJ-12 connectors on
both ends, with 6-wire straight-through connections) and an adapter (female
RJ-12 to female 9-pin D subminiature). The adapter plugs into the 9-pin serial
port found on most PCs.
Serial connections on a workstation
®
If you are using a UNIX workstation as the host computer, you need to use a
serial device file. If a serial device file does not already exist on your host, you
need to create one. Once it exists, you need to ensure that it has the
appropriate permissions so that you can access it. See the system
documentation for your workstation for help with setting up a serial device.
Serial connections on a PC
Serial connections are supported on PCs. You must use hardware handshaking
if you will use the serial connection for anything other than setting LAN
parameters.
If you are using a PC as the host computer, you do not need to set up any
special files.
