Configuring a Console Server
A console server may be configured at the appliance level through the command line interface accessed through
the CONSOLE or Ethernet port. All terminal commands are accessed through a terminal or PC running terminal
emulation software.
NOTE: To configure using DSView 3 software, see the DSView 3 Installer/User Guide. To configure using the console server’s web
manager, see Chapter 3. To configure using Telnet or SSH, see the ACS 6000 Command Reference Guide.
To connect a terminal to the console server:
1. Using a null modem cable, connect a terminal or a PC that is running terminal emulation software (such as
HyperTerminal
®
) to the CONSOLE port on the back panel of the console server. An RJ-45 to DB9 (female)
cross adaptor is provided.
The terminal settings are 9600 bits per second (bps), 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and no flow control.
2. Turn on the console server. When the console server completes initialization, the terminal will display the
login banner plus the login prompt.
Using Telnet or SSH
An authorized user can use a Telnet or SSH client to make a connection directly to the console of a device if all
of the following are true:
The Telnet or SSH:
• protocol is enabled in the selected security profile
• protocol is configured for the port
• client is available, and it is enabled on the computer from which the connection is made
