Chapter 3 Installing the Server 3-5
3.3 Connecting the Administration Console
The serial port on the XSCF Unit is a RJ-45 interface port used to monitor the boot
process and to modify the default settings. The port is monitored and configured
using an administrative console connected to the serial port by a serial cable.
Youcan monitor and configure the XSCF Unit using any one of the following devices
as the administrative console:
■ASCII terminal
■Workstation
■Terminalserver (or patch panel connected to a terminal server)
■Personal computer
Note – It is possible to connect to the LAN ports using Telnet or ssh access. The
LAN ports have class-B private addressvalues but they will not send out a packet by
themselves until configured.
Note – The modular connector (RCI connector) is not for connection to TNV circuits
See item 1 in FIGURE3-2.
