CHAPTER 16 Console Access
To access the device via the console port the following are required:
VT100 Compatible Terminal
This terminal is essential to perform the initial configuration of the router. This is normally a terminal with a
VT100 emulation program, such as Telix or HyperTerminal Edition 5.
Console Port Cable
An RS-232, DB9-to-DB9 straight-through cable is only required if you need to connect the device to a
VT100 terminal or equivalent. The cable is not supplied with the SHDSL router.
16.1.1 Login
For access by console, the console PC should be installed with a standard VT100 emulation program,
such as HyperTerminal 5 or Telix. You must connect the router to a PC using a serial cable. The following
steps describe how to establish the console session.
STEP1: Run a standard VT100 program such as HyperTerminal (Ver. 5 is recommended), or Telix in the
local terminal and select an open com port.
STEP2: Enter the following port settings:
Baud rate: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: none
Stop bit: 1
Flow control: none
STEP3: After the session parameters are set up, press the Enter Key. You will be requested to enter the
user name and password.
STEP4: After successfully logging in, the main menu will appear.
