normally be done through the browser-based Administrative Console. Therefore, this section includes
configuration of only those parameters necessary to allow the Access Control Server or Integrated Access
Manager to be recognized and communicate on the network.

Management
System
Typically, the serial console is a terminal emulator running on another management computer that is
usually equipped with a male DB9 port. If your management computer is so equipped, you would use a
female DB9 to female DB9 crossover serial cable (also known as a null modem cable) to connect the two
devices. See
Appendix D, “Cable and Connector Specifications” for the pinout specifications for this
connector.
Configure the terminal session on your management computer as follows:
• Baud rate: 9600 • Stop bits: 1
• Data Bits: 8 • Flow Control: None
• Parity: None
Caution: If this is an Integrated Access Manager and you plan to reconfigure the network uplink to use
a port on an option card, DO NOT connect the unit to the network at this time.
