Setting Up a Configuration Console in SLIP Mode
The procedure that follows sets up the configuration console in SLIP mode and logs you on as the system
administrator with full access to all commands.
Note: A typical workstation includes two serial ports (COM1, COM2):
Ÿ One dedicated to an ASCII-terminal emulator,
Ÿ The other dedicated to an IP stack and supported via the SLIP protocol.
Both ports are needed for this procedure.
1. Connect your workstation to the RS-232 console port on the front panel of the CPSW module from the
‘ASCII-terminal’ serial port.
2. Configure the terminal in Normal mode and logon as administrator as described in “Setting Up a
Configuration Console in Normal (ASCII) Mode” on page 12.
3. If a data transmission rate other than 9600 is required, use the SET TERMINAL BAUD command to
configure a data transmission rate.

4. Set the local IP address (8265) and remote IP address (workstation) for the SLIP protocol using the
SET TERMINAL SLIP_ADDRESSES command.

5. Switch the configuration console port operating mode to SLIP using the SET TERMINAL
CONSOLE_PORT_PROTOCOL command.

6. Unplug the cable from the ‘ASCII-terminal’ serial port and plug it into the ‘IP-stack’ serial port of your
workstation.
7. Configure the IP stack SLIP with the IP address of the 8265 and verify the CPSW-to-workstation
connectivity by issuing a PING request.

C:\ ping 9.1ðð.86.139

8. Start a TELNET session to the CPSW.
