Prerequisites

•To use the console port, you need the following equipment:

—A terminal or teletypewriter (TTY)-compatible terminal, or a portable computer with a serial port and terminal-emulation software.

—An Underwriters Laboratories (UL)-listed straight-through or null modem RS-232 cable with a female DB-9 connector for the console port on the switch. The other end of the cable must use a connector appropriate to the serial port on your computer or terminal. Most computers or terminals use a male DB-25 connector. You can find a null modem cable with the chassis.

•You must shield the cable connected to the console port to comply with emissions regulations and requirements.

Procedure steps

Step Action

1Configure the terminal protocol as follows:

•9600 baud

•8 data bits

•1 stop bit

•No parity

2Connect the RS-232 cable to the console port.

3Connect the other end of the RS-232 cable to the terminal or computer serial port.

4Turn on the terminal.

5Log on to the CLI.

--End--

Connecting a modem

Connect a modem to a Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 to establish a connection with the switch. You can configure the modem port first using another type of connection, such as a terminal connection, to the CLI.
