Set Up Overview
Set up for Digi CM SAC support is a three-step process:
1. Set up the Windows Server 2003 for S AC support. To do this, ensure that
the COM port used for console traffic is properly set up. This includes
designating a COM port for console communication and setting the port
speed (baud) appropriately. For further information please refer to Setting

2. Cable the console port on the Wind ows Server 2003 to a Digi CM port. See
the cabling information in Chapter 17.
