2. Set Up Console Cable
The operator console is necessary for the initial power up and configuring of the C4 CMTS. You may use an asynchronous
terminal or a PC with asynchronous terminal emulation software, such as HyperTerm or Teraterm.
The C4 CMTS is shipped with a black roll-over cable that has a 9-pin connector on one end and an RJ-45 connector on the
other. The RJ-45 end plugs into the front of the SCM card into the RS-232 port. The other end plugs into a computer or
terminal server.
The default connection settings for the computer COM port are:
9600 Baud rate
8 data bits
No parity
1-stop bit
Flow control Xon/Xoff
Once a successful connection is made, you should get a login prompt.
