Using the NetScaler Serial Console

When you first install the appliance, you can configure the initial settings by using the serial console. With the serial console, you can change the system IP address, create a subnet or mapped IP address, configure advanced network settings, and change the time zone.

Note: To locate the serial console port on your appliance, see "RS232 Serial Console Port" in "Ports."

To configure initial settings by using a serial console

1.Connect the console cable into your appliance. For more information, see "Connecting the Console Cable" in "Connecting the Cables."

2.Run the vt100 terminal emulation program of your choice on your computer to connect to the appliance and configure the following settings:

9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, parity, and flow control set to NONE.

3.Press ENTER.

The terminal screen displays the Logon prompt.
