Console Port Setup

Using HyperTerminal

Connecting Directly to the Router

You can connect a console terminal (PC, Macintosh, or UNIX workstation) directly to the
SRP I/O module via the RS-232 terminal port. When you connect a console directly to
the system, you can configure the system without an IP address.
To communicate with the system, you must have a terminal emulation program running
on your PC or Macintosh. You can use any terminal emulation program, such as
HyperTerminal. A UNIX workstation can use the emulator TIP.
If your console uses a version of Microsoft Windows (such as Windows 95 or Windows
NT 4.0) that supports the HyperTerminal application, you can access the system via
HyperTerminal.
Click the Start button and select Programs, Accessories, and HyperTerminal.

terminal connector. The cable must have a female DB-9 connector to attach to the
RS-232 port on the system.
The console port is considered a data terminal equipment interface (DTE). Direct
connection to a terminal or PC (which also have DTE interfaces) requires a crossover
cable.
