SSH provides a secure communications facility dening a standard method of interfacing terminal
devices to each other. Any standard SSH client can be used to communicate to an Engage BlackDoor
Duo provided there is IP connectivity between the User Host and the BlackDoor Duo.
For communication through the Console port, standard terminal communication software is used.
4.1 Console Communication
Serial communication to the console port should be congured for:
115200 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, 8 bit xed, ow control none
Please use the provided USB to DB9 serial converter to connect to the BlackDoor Duo's USB port.
The DB9 side of the cable will connect to a computer that is running a Terminal Server program
(TeraTerm, HyperTerm, etc.). It is typical to connect the DB9 to another USB to DB9 serial
converter as DB9 serial ports are not common on todays computers. In this case, use the NULL
MODEM ADAPTER provided to allow communication between BlackDoor Duo and computer. The
use of the null modem adapter is necessary when using two USB to DB9 serial converter cables.
