Console Ethernet Port
The console Ethernet port is located beneath the front panel LEDs and enables
out-of-band management. The port accepts an RJ45 connector; use the RJ45
Connector/Console Cable (5188-6699) that ships with your NAC 800. The other
end of this cable connects to a standard console port. Plug it in to your
workstation and open a console terminal session to access the NAC 800’s
menu interface.
Panel LCD and Buttons
The NAC 800’s front panel features an LCD, which initially displays this
information:
■
Server type (for example, Combination Server)
■
IP address
In addition, the panel has six buttons which you use to interact with the LCD:
■
Four arrow buttons (left, right, up, and down)
■
An accept button (a checkmark)
■
A cancel button (an X)
You can press the accept button to access the panel LCD menu interface and
complete tasks such as:
■
Set the server type
■
Configure IP settings
■
Reboot and shutdown the device
