Setting Up the Local Console
This section provides instructions for setting up your local terminal at your workstation, to enable
you to perform the initial system configuration of the
SCE 2000
system using the setup utility.
Figure 5-1: Connecting to the Local Console
Make sure that the terminal configuration is as follows:
•
9600 baud
•
8 data bits
•
No Parity
•
1 stop bits
•
No flow control
The above
SCE 2000
port parameters are fixed and are not configurable.
To set up the local console, complete the following steps:
Step 1
Plug the RS-232 serial cable provided with the
SCE 2000
into the CON port on the front
panel of the
SCE 2000
.
Make sure that you push on the RJ-45 connector (attached to the RS-232 serial cable) until you hear a
“click”, which indicates that the connector is fully inserted and secured in the receptacle. Gently pull on the
plug to confirm whether the plug is locked into the socket.
Step 2
Connect the other end of the serial cable (with an attached DB-9 connector) to the
VT100 compatible local (serial) terminal.
Step 3
Make sure the local terminal is configured as a VT-100 terminal, according to the fixed
SCE 2000
CON port parameters.
