Setup Guide

NOTE: You must have a password configured on a virtual terminal line

before you can Telnet into the S6100–ON system. Therefore, use a

console connection when connecting to the system for the first time.

Before starting this procedure, be sure that you have a terminal

emulation program already installed on your PC.

1. Install an RJ-45 copper cable into the console port. Use a rollover cable

to connect the S6100–ON console port to a terminal server.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the DTE terminal server.

3. Set the default terminal settings as follows.

• 115200 baud rate

• No parity

• 8 data bits

• 1 stop bit

• No flow control

Accessing the RJ-45 Console Port with a

DB-9 Adapter

You can connect to the console using an RJ-45 to RJ-45 rollover cable and

an RJ-45 to DB-9 female DTE adapter to a terminal server (for example, a

PC).

The pin assignments between the console and a DTE terminal server are as

follows:
