How to Set Up the Local Console

Even if you will be managing the Cisco SCE8000 from a remote location, you must first connect the unit to a local console and configure the initial settings for the Cisco SCE8000 to support remote management. When the initial connection is established, the setup utility will run automatically, prompting you to perform the initial system configuration.

This section provides instructions for setting up your local terminal at your workstation, to enable you to perform the initial system configuration of the Cisco SCE8000 system using the setup utility.

Make sure that the terminal configuration is as follows:

•9600 baud

•8 data bits

•No Parity

•1 stop bits

•No flow control

The above Cisco SCE8000 port parameters are fixed and are not configurable.
