terminal emulation program.

– Bits per second: 9600

–
(Optional) Prepares a computer for router communications.
Not required if you are connecting through a terminal.
•
Terminals send keystrokes to, and receive characters,
•
from another device. If you connect a computer to the
Console port, you must use a terminal emulation
program to communicate with the router. For
instructions on using the terminal emulation program,
see the documentation for that program.
