GNAT Box System Software User’s Guide

Making a Serial Connection
If you want to initially configure your firewall using the serial console, use
a null-modem serial cable to connect a computer’s COM port to the COM
port of your firewall. Wiring diagrams and further information are available
in the
Console Guide
.
The computer will use terminal software over the serial cable to emulate
attaching a keyboard and monitor directly to the firewall.
Making a Video Connection
If you want to initially configure your firewall using the video console,
attach a monitor and a keyboard directly to your firewall. A mouse will not
be used.
