Serial Port Connection
If you want to initially configure the unit through a serial connection, follow these steps:
1. Connect a console terminal or PC running a terminal emulation program to your unit's serial
port. The default serial port settings are 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow
control.
2. To enter Setup Mode, cycle the unit's power (power off and back on). After power-up, the
self-test begins and the red Diagnostic LED starts blinking.
You have one second

three lowercase

characters (

).
Note:
The easiest way to enter Setup Mode is to hold down the
x
key at the terminal (or
emulation) while powering up the unit.
3. At this point, the screen display is the same as when you use a Telnet connection. To
continue with a serial port login, go to
