Attach the connector to the socket on the back of the ConsoleServer.
Repeat the above steps if a redundant power input is to be attached.

Connecting a Terminal
The terminal port is used for local access to the ConsoleServer 800 and the
attached devices. The system administrator must also use the terminal port to
set up the configuration for the network port before the ConsoleServer 800 can
be accessed from the network. A dumb terminal or computer may be attached to
the serial port if the serial port uses RS-232-C protocol and vt100 emulation is
supported.
Inserting a cable in the terminal port
The default communication parameters for the terminal port are:
9600 baud, 8
data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, Xon/Xoff flow control, and a port type of
DCE
.
Adapters from Lightwave Communications must be used to connect the terminal
port to the serial port on a terminal. Otherwise, the serial pin signals may not
match and there will be no communication between the two units. See Appendix
A for adapter and port pinouts.
