Server Administrator Guide 2 - 21
Using the Maintenance Console
If you intend to use the Administrative Console web interface
(recommended) to configure the FirePass IP address or if your server’s IP
address and network mask are already configured correctly, you can skip
this section.
However, if your server’s IP address and network mask are not configured
correctly, or if you are unable to connect to the server using a Web browser
on the network, you can use the Maintenance Console to make configuration
changes according to the instructions in this section. You can also use the
Maintenance Console to perform basic connectivity diagnostics.
Use one of the following methods to access the server and run the
Maintenance Console:
• Connect another computer’s serial port to the FirePass server’s serial
port, and then use a terminal emulation program.
• Connect a monitor and keyboard directly to the FirePass server (FirePass
4000 only).
To use the Maintenance Console to configure the FirePass
server
1. Use a 9-pin D-style, null modem cable to connect the serial port on
a serial terminal or on a computer to the FirePass server’s serial
console port on the server’s rear panel.
2. If necessary, turn on the FirePass server’s Power switch.
3. Do one of the following:
• If you connected a serial terminal, press Enter on the terminal’s
keyboard to start the Maintenance Console.
• If you connected a computer to the serial port, start a serial
terminal emulation application (such as HyperTerminal on
Windows
®
or Minicom on Linux) on the computer. Use the
terminal emulation application to connect to the FirePass server
with the following communications settings:
Setting Value
Bits per second 9600
Data bits 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
Flow control Xon/Xoff
