Making a Serial Connection

If you want to initially configure your firewall using the serial console, use a null-modem serial cable to connect a computer’s COM port to the COM port of your firewall. Wiring diagrams and further information are available in the Console Guide.

The computer will use terminal software over the serial cable to emulate attaching a keyboard and monitor directly to the firewall.

Making a Video Connection

If you want to initially configure your firewall using the video console, attach a monitor and a keyboard directly to your firewall. A mouse will not be used.
