Step 3.
Connecting the Power Adapter to your Prestige
Connect the power adapter to the port labeled POWER on the rear panel of your
Prestige.
Step 4.
Connecting the Console Port
For the initial configuration of your Prestige, you need to use a terminal emulator
software on a workstation and connect it to the Prestige through the console port.
Connect the 9-pin (smaller) end of the console cable to the console port of the
Prestige and the 25-pin (bigger) end to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other
COM port) of your workstation. You can use an extension RS-232 cable if the
enclosed one is too short.
After the initial setup, you can modify the configuration remotely through telnet
connections. See
Chapter 14 - Telnet Configuration and Capabilities
for
detailed instructions on using telnet to configure your Prestige.
