The CONSOLE port normally serves as the primary user interface with the
BitStorm 4800 Express during installation. You can connect a terminal or PC
directly to the CONSOLE port using a DTE cable (see procedure below). You
can also use the CONSOLE port to attach a modem to the BitStorm 4800
Express for remote dial-in management of the unit using a DCE cable (see
Connecting a Modem to the Console Port on page
To connect a terminal or PC to the CONSOLE port:
1 Configure the terminal or terminal emulation program to use the
following parameters:
— Speed: 9600 bps
— Data bits: 8
— Parity: None
— Flow Control: None
— Stop bits: 1
2 Determine and procure the proper Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) cable
type. The CONSOLE port requires a DB9 plug connector. The other
connector depends on the serial port on your terminal or PC.
3 Connect the DB9 plug connector to the CONSOLE port socket. The
CONSOLE port is ordinarily used only during installation, so do not
fasten the connector.
4 Connect the other end of the cable to the serial port of your terminal or
PC.
