NOTE
Do not connect the device to the network until the IP addresses are configured.
For information about LED patterns, see Connecting a DC power cord .
Establishing a serial connection to the device
The serial port is located on the port side of the chassis. The device uses an RJ-45 connector for the serial port. An RJ-45 to DB9
adapter is also provided with the product. The cable supplied with the product is a rollover cable. The serial port is used to connect to a
workstation to configure the device IP address before connecting the device to a fabric or IP network.
CAUTION
To protect the serial port from damage, keep the cover on the port when not in use.
To establish a serial connection to the serial (console) port on the device, complete the following steps.
1. Verify that the device is powered on and that POST is complete by verifying that all power LED indicators on the management,
switch fabric, and line card modules display a steady green light.
2. Remove the shipping cap from the serial port (labeled I0I0I ) on the active management module. By default, the management
module installed in slot M1 is the active management module unless an error occurs. The active management module is also
indicated by an illuminated blue LED labeled ACTIVE .
3. Use the serial cable provided with the product to connect the serial port on the active management module to a computer
workstation.
If the serial port on the workstation or terminal device is DB9 instead of RJ-45, remove the adapter on the end of the serial
cable and insert the exposed DB9 connector into the DB9 serial port on the workstation.
NOTE
The serial port is intended primarily for the initial setting of the IP address and for service purposes.
4. Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation (such as synchronization programs).
5. Open a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal on a PC, or TERM, TIP, or Kermit in a UNIX environment), and
configure the application as follows:
∙
In a Windows environment, use the parameters shown in the following table.
TABLE 8 Windows serial connection parameters
Parameter Value
Bits per second 9600
Data bits 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
Flow control None
NOTE
Flow control is not supported on the serial consoles when attached to remote terminal servers and must be
disabled on the customer-side remote terminal server and the host-side clients.
∙
In a UNIX environment, enter the following string at the prompt:
tip /dev/ttyb -9600
