Page 21

Connecting the Controller Console Port

Caution Do not connect a Power over Ethernet (PoE) cable to the console port. Doing so will damage the controller.

Before you can configure the 2504 controller for basic operations, you need to connect it to a PC that uses a VT-100 terminal emulator (such as HyperTerminal, ProComm, Minicom, or Tip). To connect the PC to the controller console port, follow these steps:

Step 1 Plug the RJ-45 connector on a null-modem serial cable into the controller console port and the other end of the cable into the serial port of the PC.

Step 2 Start the PC terminal emulation program.

Step 3 Configure the terminal emulation program for the following parameters:

•9600 baud

•8 data bits

•No flow control

•1 stop bit

•No parity

Securing the Power Adapter Cable

To secure the power adapter cable to the 2504 controller, use the plastic relief clip shipped with the cable. The clip relieves the cable in the event it falls and prevents the connector from being sheared off at the plug pins.

Caution If the relief clip is not installed, the power connector can be damaged if the power cable is pulled or if the power adapter falls.

Note The Cisco 2106 power adapter is not compatible with a 2504 controller.

To secure the power adapter cable and plug, follow these steps:
