Using a Console Connection

If you do not use DHCP to perform the initial configuration of your Nokia
appliance, you must use a serial console connection (cable included). After
you perform the initial configuration, you no longer need the console
connection.
You can use any standard VT100-compatible terminal with an RS-232 data
terminal equipment (DTE) interface or terminal-emulation program
configured with the following settings for the console:
9600 bps
8 data bits
No parity
1 stop bit
To connect to the console
1. Connect the supplied null-modem cable (console cable) to the console
port on the front panel of the appliance.
Use only the DB9 port labeled Console on the front panel; the serial port
(AUX) is an auxiliary modem port.
