Step 2
		Connect a terminal to the Console port.	Establishes a communications path to the router.
			• During the initial setup, you can communicate with the

• For information on the cable requirements for the Console port, see the hardware documentation listed in the “Related Documents” section on page viii.

Step 3 Start the terminal emulation program. (Optional.) Prepares a computer for router communications.

• The step is not required if you are connecting through a terminal.
