3Com CS/2500 manual All ports are set to terminal SETDefault -TERM DeVice =

Cabling the Server to the Network 2-5

■All ports are set to terminal (SETDefault -TERM DeVice =

Terminal).

■ BAud is set to AutoBaud (SETDefault -TERM BAud = AutoBaud).

■PARIty is set to None (SETDefault -TERM PARIty = None).

If your network hardware does not match these defaults, you must reconfigure the software. Refer to Chapter 20, “TERM Service Parameters,” in the Multiprotocol Communications Server Reference Guide.

Devices connect to the server for communications purposes through the ten serial ports. An RBCS or TFTP server from which the communications server boots over the network connects as part of the network, through the Ethernet AUI connector.

Attaching RS-232 and RS-422 Serial Cables

Attach the serial cable to the server by inserting the connector into one of the back panel serial ports labeled J0 through J9. Using a small slotted screwdriver, tighten the screws on both sides of the connector.

Cabling a Console

The default console port is J0, and the default console port data rate is 9600 bps. Because port J0 is the default, you must attach the console to this port the first time you configure your server. Table 2-1 lists the default settings for the server’s default console port, J0. Your terminal must match these settings.
