CAUTION:
•
When you connect the console cable, identify the port marks and make sure you are connecting
the correct ports.
•
The serial ports on PCs do not support hot swapping. If the firewall has been powered on,
connect the serial console cable to the PC before connecting to the firewall, and when you
disconnect the cable, first disconnect from the firewall.
To access and manage the firewall locally, connect the serial console port or the micro USB console
port on the firewall to a configuration terminal (a PC for example). Only the micro USB console port is
available if you connect both the serial console port and micro USB console port.
To configure and manage the firewall through the serial console port or micro USB console port, you
must run a terminal emulator program, TeraTermPro or PuTTY, on your configuration terminal and
configure the following settings for the terminal. For more information about the terminal emulator
programs, see the user guides for these programs.
