Basic GigaVUE H Series Connections and Configuration 87
Connecting Serial Console and Mgmt Ports
To make basic GigaVUE-HC3 connections (serial console and Mgmt ports):
1.
Locate the DB9-to-RJ45 serial cable provided with the GigaVUE-HC3. This cable is
called a
console cable .
N
OTE
:
This cable is Cisco-compatible. Refer to Appendix D, Console Port
Signaling and Cabling for pinout details.
2.
Connect the RJ45 end of the console cable to the console port on the left of the
extension board.
3.
Connect the DB9 end of the console cable to a PC’s COM port.
4.
Connect a standard Ethernet cable (Cat5e or better) to the 10/100/1000 Mgmt port
on the extension board.
5.
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet network.
Configuring Basic GigaVUE H Series Settings
This section describes how to perform the initial configuration of basic GigaVUE
H Series node settings over a serial terminal connection to the console port.
The system administrator must initially log in with a default admin account using a
default password, and then must immediately change the password through the
jump-start script. Refer to Access the Command-Line Interface over the Console Port
on page 87 .
Once you have used the console port to configure the Mgmt port’s network properties,
you can configure the GigaVUE H Series node remotely using the Mgmt port’s network
connection.
The same commands are available in the GigaVUE-OS command-line interface
regardless of whether you are connected over the Mgmt or console port.
Access the Command-Line Interface over the Console Port
Access to the control card is through the console port on the left side of the extension
board of the GigaVUE-HC3.
