insert the exposed RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 serial port on the workstation.
2. Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation, such as synchronization programs.
3. Open a terminal emulator application, such as PuTTY, XShell, or SecureCRT on a Windows PC or TERM, TIP, or C-

NOTE
Flow control is not supported on the serial connection when attached to a remote terminal and must be
disabled on the customer-side remote terminal server in addition to the host-side clients.
•
In a UNIX environment using TIP, enter the following string at the prompt:
tip /dev/ttyb -9600
