Connecting to the Console Port

Chapter 2 Installing the SN 5428 Storage Router

Connect a PC serial port to the console port for local administrative access to the SN 5428 Storage Router. The PC must support VT100 terminal emulation. The terminal-emulation software—frequently a PC application such as HyperTerminal or Procomm Plus—makes communication between the storage router and your PC possible during setup and configuration.

Perform the following steps to connect to the console port:

Step 1	Configure the PC terminal emulation program to match these console port default
	characteristics:

	Bits Per Second	9600

	Data Bits	8

	Parity	None

	Stop Bits	1

	Flow Control	None

Step 2	Connect the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 female adapter to the PC serial port.
Step 3	Connect one end of the supplied console cable (a rollover RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable)
	to the console port. Connect the other end to the RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter at the PC
	serial port. (See Figure 2-18.)
