To make a serial connection between your management system and the device, you can use the console
cable that is available as an extra accessory. Insert the RJ45 connector into the console port, and attach
the DB9 connector to the serial (or COM) port on your management system. The management system must
have a VT100 terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term Pro

(a free terminal emulator) or Hilgraeve
Hyperterminal
®
(provided with Windows
®
operating systems). If you want to make your own serial cable and
adapter, refer to Figure 4 .

SSIGNMENTS
Some Aerohive devices have a male DB9 serial Console port that allows you to make a console connection
using an RS-232 (or "null modem") cable. The management station from which you make a serial connection
to the HiveManager Appliance must have a VT100 emulation program, such as Tera Term Pro
©
(a free
terminal emulator) or Hilgraeve Hyperterminal
®
(provided with Windows
®
operating systems).
The serial connection settings are:
•
Bits per second: 115,200
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: none
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: none
The pin assignments in the male DB9 console port follow the EIA (Electronic Industries Alliance) RS-232
standard. To make a serial connection between your management system and the console port on the
HiveManager, you can use a null modem serial cable, use another serial cable that complies with the RS-232
standard, or refer to the pin-to-signal mapping shown in Figure 5 on page 115 to make your own serial
