Accessing Processor Cards Through the SAP
The SAP provides console access to any other processor card in the
Cisco ICS 7750 chassis. By connecting your PC to the console port on the SAP,
or by dialing in to a modem that is connected to the console port, you can access
a menu that can help you debug and troubleshoot system cards.
To access this text-based menu, follow these steps:
Step 1 If your PC is not already directly connected to the SAP console port, you can use
an RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter with a rolled EIA/TIA-232 cable or the supplied
console (blue) cable to make the connection, as follows:
• Connect the SAP console port to an available COM port on your PC.
Or
• Connect a modem to the SAP console port to enable a dial-up connection
(9600 baud, maximum).
Note For instructions on how to connect the SAP directly to your PC, refer to
the “Connecting to Card Ports” section on page 3-18. For instructions on
how connect the SAP a modem and how to configure your modem for
remote dial-up access to System Manager, refer to the “Connecting a
Modem” section on page 4-39.
Step 2 On your PC, open HyperTerminal. On PCs running Windows 2000, a typical
HyperTerminal path is Start > Programs > Accessories > Communications >
HyperTerminal.
