Setting Up the Local Console

This section provides instructions for setting up your local terminal at your workstation, to enable you to perform the initial system configuration of the SCE 2000 system using the setup utility.

Figure 5-1: Connecting to the Local Console

Make sure that the terminal configuration is as follows:

•9600 baud

•8 data bits

•No Parity

•1 stop bits

•No flow control

The above SCE 2000 port parameters are fixed and are not configurable.

To set up the local console, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Plug the RS-232 serial cable provided with the SCE 2000 into the CON port on the front panel of the SCE 2000.

Make sure that you push on the RJ-45 connector (attached to the RS-232 serial cable) until you hear a “click”, which indicates that the connector is fully inserted and secured in the receptacle. Gently pull on the plug to confirm whether the plug is locked into the socket.

Step 2 Connect the other end of the serial cable (with an attached DB-9 connector) to the VT100 compatible local (serial) terminal.

Step 3 Make sure the local terminal is configured as a VT-100 terminal, according to the fixed SCE 2000 CON port parameters.

Step 4 Press Enter several times until the Cisco logo appears on the local terminal and the setup configuration dialog is entered.

Would you like to continue with the System Configuration Dialog? [yes/no]: y
