2.3. RJ45 Console Port Connection
On the first generation of the E7 appliance, the serial console port is a physical RJ45 RS-232 port
on the front panel of the hardware. The second generation of E7 provides a micro-USB port
instead and connection with this is described in
Section 2.4, “Micro-USB Console Port Connection” .
This RS232 port allows direct management connection to the appliance, either from a separate
computer running console emulation software or from a console terminal. Serial console access
can then be used for both management of cOS Core with CLI commands or to enter the
boot
menu in order to access E7 firmware loader options.
Tip: Skip this section for now if the web interface is used
This section can be initially skipped if initial cOS Core setup is done with the cOS Core
Web Interface since neither boot menu or CLI access will be needed.
Issuing CLI Commands
CLI commands can be issued via the RS-232 console port for both initial cOS Core setup as well as
for ongoing system administration.
The RS-232 console port need not be used if setup is done through a web browser as described
in
Section 3.2, “Web Interface and Wizard Setup” . If the local console port is used for setup, no
password is initially needed and the CLI commands required are described in Section 3.4, “CLI
Setup” .
Note: Setting a console password
A serial console password need not be set. If this is the case, anyone with physical access
to the serial console has full administrator rights.
If the E7 is not placed in a secure area, it is therefore advisable to set the console
password. This is done using the console
boot menu and more detail on this can be
found in the separate cOS Core Administrators Guide .
Requirements for Serial Console Connection
To use the serial console port, the following is needed:
• A terminal or a computer with a serial port and the ability to emulate a terminal (for instance,
the
Hyper Terminal software included with some Microsoft Windows distributions could be
used).
• The terminal console should have the following settings:
• 9600 bps.
• No parity.
• 8 bits.
• 1 stop bit.
• No flow control.
