Initial System Setup
Establishing a first-time serial connection.
To assign an IP address, you must have access to the command line interface (CLI). The CLI is a text-
based interface that can be accessed through a direct serial connection to the device.
Access the CLI by connecting to the console port. After you assign an IP address, you can access the
system through Telnet or SSH by Putty, TeraTerm or HyperTerminal.
Perform the following steps to access the device through a serial connection:
1.
Connect the console cable.
•
The console can be connected either with the RJ45 port or the micro USB port, both
ports are labelled IOIO. If connecting with micro USB, drivers will need to be installed.
•
To connect the console using the RJ45 port, locate the RJ45 port labelled IOIO, then
plug a serial cable into the console port and connect the other end to the computer.
Cable types may vary depending on the model.
