Access the Console
To test the system and configure the network, you must first access the SafeNet ProtectServer Network HSM

modem serial cable. Use the console port to configure at least one of the network interfaces.
To access the console
1. Connect a null-modem serial cable (supplied) between the serial port on the HSM appliance front panel and
a dumb terminal or a PC or laptop that will serve as the administration workstation.
2. Use a terminal emulation package provided with your operating system. Set the Serial connection
