Using Configuration Utilities

Connecting the NIC Serial Configuration Port to a

Console Terminal

The console facility is used for diagnosing and configuring the NIC. It can also be used for downloading new firmware to the NIC. The console is accessed from the NIC’s serial port which has a PC-compatible 9-pin male D-connector.

The following table lists the function of each of the pins in the D- connector:
