insert the exposed RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 serial port on the workstation.

Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation.
3.
Open a terminal emulator (such as HyperTerminal on a PC, or TERM, TIP, or Kermit in a UNIX
environment) and configure as follows:
For most Windows systems:
Bits per second: 9,600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
For most UNIX systems:
Enter
tip /dev/ttyb -9600
If
ttyb
is already in use, enter
tip /dev/ttya -9600
