and Console Management
This Chapter is only for CenturyStack Master Hub configuration and
management. When installing CenturyStack the first time, it is necessary to
configure the hub through the Console Interface.

You can set up a management session by connecting a direct RS-232 cable
between the management port on the CenturyStack and the communication
port of your PC or terminal.
To connect a local terminal to the CenturyStack, do the following:
1. Install a terminal emulation application such as Windows
Hyperterminal on your PC.
2. Configure the terminal emulation application as follows:
Baud rate ....... 9600
Parity .............. None
Data bits ......... 8
Stop bits ......... 1
Flow Control ... None
VT-100 ........... Configuration
3. If you are using Microsoft Windows terminal emulation,
disable the “Use Function, Arrow, and Ctrl Keys for Windows”
option in the Terminal Preferences menu under Settings.
4. Connect the console management port on the CenturyStack
to your PC or DTE device using a serial cable. The
CenturyStack has a 9-pin, female connector.
