Set Up Overview

Set up for Digi CM SAC support is a three-step process:

1.Set up the Windows Server 2003 for SAC 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 Up the Windows Server 2003 Port below.

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

3.Set up the Digi CM for SAC support. See "Setting Up the Digi CM for SAC Support" on page 76.
