The 3Com Router 1.x supports local and remote configuration, and the
configuration environment can be established in the following ways:
Local Configuration
Environment via Console
Port
The local configuration environment can be established via the console port
(configuration interface).
1As shown in Figure 2, the local configuration environment can be established via
the console port just by connecting the serial port of the computer with the
console port of the router via a standard RS-232 cable.
Figure 2 Establish a local configuration environment via configuration interface
On 3Com modular routers the CONSOLE port and AUX port are on the front of
the unit, while other ports are on the rear of the unit. The above diagram shows
the rear of the unit. For details, please refer to the 3Com Installation Guide.
2Run a terminal emulator application such as HyperTerminal of Win9X on the
computer to establish a new connection. Select an RS-232 serial port on the
computer, set the terminal communication baudrate parameters as 9600 bps, 8
data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and no flow control, and select the terminal
emulation type as VT100, as shown in the following diagram (“HyperTerminal”
setting interface in Windows 9X).
