Connecting and Using the CLI Console
For initial system configuration, use the CLI console. As shown in Figure 4, the CLI console connects
to the controller front-panel console port.
Figure 4 CLI Console Connection to a controller
Follow these steps to connect the CLI console to the controller:
Step 1 Use a null-modem serial cable to connect the CLI console to the controller console port.
Note The controller end of the cable is female DB-9. The other end should be any kind of connector
that plugs into your VT-100 terminal emulator (usually a laptop or palmtop computer).
Step 2 Be sure that the VT-100 terminal emulator (HyperTerminal, ProComm, minicom, tip, or other) is
configured for the following parameters:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• no flow control
• 1 stop bit
• no parity
Performing Power On Self Test
When you plug the controller into an AC power source, the bootup script initializes the system, verifies
the hardware configuration, loads its microcode into memory, verifies its Operating System software
load, and initializes itself with its stored configurations.
