Section D: Initial Configuration Using a Direct Serial
Port Connection
This section describes how to configure the SG510 using a direct serial port
connection. Before you can configure the SG510 using the serial port connection,
you must place the SG510 into the network as described in
“Placing the SG510 into
the Network” on page 28.
A PC, serial terminal, or a stand-alone serial console terminal can be used to
configure a SG510 the first time you power it on. Use the serial console setup to
configure the following basic network information:
You can also configure a bridge or a forwarding host, or you can restrict access to
the SG510
to a particular IP address or set of IP addresses.
PC Note: If the PC is using standard serial port settings, you should have
a problem-free connection. You can run into problems, though,
if there are non-standard PC serial port settings.
The serial port connection setup differs by model:
