Chapter 3 Installing the AVS 3120

Establishing a Serial Console Connection

Establishing a Serial Console Connection

Before you can configure the AVS 3120 by using the command line interface (CLI), you must establish

aserial console connection to it. This requires a PC, a DB-9 to RJ-45 adapter (provided), an RJ-45 180/rollover cable (provided), and terminal emulation communication software (Hyper Terminal or equivalent). You may also use a serial concentrator connection, if desired.

To establish a serial console connection, follow these steps:

1.Connect a console to the serial console port on the rear panel:

a.Attach a DB-9 or DB-25 to RJ-45 adapter to the serial port of the console computer.

b.Use the RJ-45 180/rollover cable to connect the console to the console serial port on the AVS 3120. For the location of the serial port, see Figure 3-4.

2.If you have not already done so, power up the AVS 3120 as described in the “Booting the AVS 3120” section on page 3-8.

3.Open your terminal emulation application on your PC to access the AVS 3120 CLI. The following procedure uses HyperTerminal for Windows:

a.Launch HyperTerminal. The Connection Description window appears.

b.Enter a name for your session in the Name field.

c.Click OK. The Connect To window appears.

d.From the drop-down list, choose the COM port to which the device is connected.

e.Click OK. The Port Properties window appears.

f.Set the port properties: Baud Rate = 9600 Data Bits = 8

Flow Control = none Parity = none

Stop Bits = 1

g.Click OK to connect.

h.Press Enter to display the CLI prompt.

4.After you create a session, choose Save As from the File menu to save the connection description. Saving the connection description has the following two advantages:

–The next time you launch HyperTerminal, the session is listed as an option under

Start > Programs > Accessories > HyperTerminal > Name_of_session. This option lets you reach the CLI prompt directly without repeating the configuration steps.

–You can connect your cable to a different device without configuring a new HyperTerminal session. If you use this option, ensure that you connect to the same port on the new device as was configured in the saved HyperTerminal session. Otherwise, a blank screen appears without a prompt.

For information about using the CLI to configure the AVS 3120, refer to the following section, “Configuring Network Settings” and the Cisco Application Velocity System User Guide.
