Connecting a Service Port Terminal
If your network does not include a BOOTP or RARP server, you must
connect a terminal to the service port on the System 5000 chassis front
panel and manually configure the Remote Access Concentrator before
booting.
To configure the RemoteAccessConcentratorthrough the chassisservice
port, you need:
• An ascii terminal or a portable computer with a serial port
and the ability to emulate an ascii terminal. The terminal
should be set up for:
– 9600 bps (default)
– 8 data bits
– No parity
– 1 stop bit
– No flow control
–ASCII
• An RS-232 modem cable with a female DB-9 connector to
connect to the service port on the chassis front panel. The
other end of the cable must have a connector appropriate to
the serial port on your computer or terminal. (Most terminals
or computers use a male DB-9 or DB-25 connector.) The
cable should use the pin assignments in Table 2-3
.
