Procedure
This section explains how to create a serial connection to the Acme Packet 4500 NIU
console port. Use the rear panel console port primarily for permanent connections
to a terminal server or other serial device.
Refer to the Startup chapter of this guide for information on how to configure your
terminal application to connect to the console.
To connect a console cable to the NIU console port:
1. Locate a shielded CAT5e or CAT6 console cable to connect to the Acme Packet
4500.
2. Remove the rubber dust cap from the NIU console port if present.
