Using a console session on the serial port

Note the following behaviors for serial connections:

• Some procedures require that you connect through the serial port; for example, setting the IP address or

setting the boot PROM password.

• If you are using a Fabric OS version prior to 6.x, and secure mode is enabled, connect through the

serial port of the primary FCS switch.

• 4/256 SAN Director and DC Director: You can connect to CP0 or CP1 using either of the two serial

ports.

To connect through the serial port:

1. Connect the serial cable to the serial port on the switch and to an RS-232 serial port on the workstation.

If the serial port on the workstation is RJ-45 instead of RS-232, remove the adapter on the end of the

serial cable and insert the exposed RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 serial port on the workstation.

2. Open a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal on a PC, or TERM, TIP, or Kermit in a

UNIX environment), and configure the application as follows:

• In a Windows environment:

• In a UNIX environment, enter the following string at the prompt:

tip /dev/ttyb -9600

If ttyb is already in use, use ttya instead and enter the following string at the prompt:

tip /dev/ttya -9600

Changing passwords
