4.4.2 Using the Serial Port
If you want to initially configure the unit through a serial connection, follow these steps:
1. Connect a console terminal or PC running a terminal emulation program to your unit's
serial port. The default serial port settings are 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no
flow control.
2. To enter Setup Mode, reset the unit, either by pushing the red reset button, or cycling
the unit's power (power off and back on). The self-test will begin.
You have one
second
to enter three lowercase
x
characters (
xxx
).
Note:
The easiest way to enter Setup Mode is to hold down the
x
key at the terminal (or
emulation) while resetting the unit.
3. At this point, the screen display is the same as when you use a Telnet connection. To
continue with a serial port login, go to
