2.2.1 Cable Configuration for the Management Terminal
This section outlines the proper cable configurations to connect a
management terminal to the ESXMIM.
You need an adapter kit containing the following items to connect a
terminal to the ESXMIM:
• One RS232 cable
• One VT series adapter
• One device cable
The adapter you use depends on whether you connect a VT320 or VT 220
terminal or a PC emulating a VT320 or VT220 to an ESXMIM COM
port. Read the information included with the adapter kit to make sure that
you are using the correct adapter.
To configure the cables, perform the following steps:
1. Plug a straight-through twisted pair cable (e.g., an RS232 cable) into
the ESXMIM’s COM port.
2. Plug the other end of the RS232 cable into the adapter.
3. Connect the adapter into the device cable and plug the other end of the
device cable into the terminal.
4. Power on the terminal. Access to Local Management is automatic.
However, because of auto-baud detection, you may need to press
ENTER.
