Connecting the Console Port to a PC

You can connect the console port to a PC serial port for local administrative access to the Cisco MDS 9100 Series switch.

Note The PC must support VT100 terminal emulation. The terminal emulation software—frequently a PC application such as HyperTerminal Plus—makes communication between the Cisco MDS 9100 Series switch and your PC possible during setup and configuration.

To connect the console port to a PC, follow these steps:

Step 1 Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC terminal emulation program to match the following management port default characteristics:

•9600 baud

•8 data bits

•1 stop bit

•No parity

Step 2 Connect the supplied RJ-45 to DB-9 female adapter or RJ-45 to DB-25 female adapter (depending on your PC connection) to the PC serial port.

Step 3 Connect one end of the supplied console cable (a rollover RJ-45 to RJ-45 cable) to the console port. (See Figure 3-1.) Connect the other end to the RJ-45 to DB-9 (or RJ-45 to DB-25) adapter at the PC serial port.
