200 C—Configuring the SG200 Using a Direct Serial Port Connection
If your SG200 is a 200 C, use the following procedure to configure it with a direct serial port connection.
Use a standalone serial terminal or a PC and the SG200 command-line interface (CLI) to perform a
first-time configuration of the following basic network information:
PC Note:
If the PC is using standard serial port settings, you should have a problem-free
connection. Problems can occur if there are non-standard PC serial port settings.
The following procedure is for 200 C Appliances running SGOS 5.x or later. Do the procedure by reading
on-screen material and entering data where necessary. The on-screen instructions display as five separate
pages. In the procedure below, places that require you to enter data show example entries in bold text.
To Configure the SG200 200 C Using a Direct Serial Port Connection:
Five screens display, one at a time, as shown in the following steps.
1
Power on and connect the serial terminal or PC as described below (the SG200 must be powered off):
Serial terminal
: Connect the terminal’s serial cable to the SG200’s serial console port; start the terminal
and verify that it is set using the parameters described below.
PC
: Connect a serial cable to a serial port on the PC and to the SG200’s serial console port; start the PC,
open a terminal emulator (such as HyperTerminal), and connect to the serial port to which you
attached the cable. Create and name a new connection (either a COM or TCP/IP), and verify that the
port is set using the parameters described below.
If you have set flow control to
none
, and if you have
smooth-scroll
as an option in your terminal settings,
disable smooth-scroll in your terminal settings to reduce the chance of losing output.
