Console Port - Enterasys X-Pedition XSR-1850 Getting Started Manual

Console Port

The XSR comes equipped with a serial port useful for initial configuration.
Using a serial (null modem) cable, you can attach the router's DB-9 Console port to a data terminal
port and directly configure the XSR over the asynchronous connection. Then, open a Microsoft
HyperTerminal or Telnet session to communicate with the router. If you use HyperTerminal, set
the connection properties as follows:
• Connect using: Direct to COMx (where x is an unused COM port)
• Bits per second: 9600
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: none
Note: The XSR default login is Admin with no password.
