4.1.3 Connecting the Terminal and Accessing Local
Management
This procedure assumes that the 9- to 25-pin RS232 cable, available from
Cabletron Systems, is being used to connect the terminal to the IRM3.
To access Local Management, proceed as follows:
1. Plug the 9-pin end of the RS232 cable into the RS232 port labeled
CONSOLE on the IRM3.
2. Plug the 25-pin end of the RS232 cable into the COMM port on the
terminal.
3. Turn the terminal on. The IRM3 Password screen, shown in Figure 4-3
appears. Refer to Section 4.3 for more information regarding this
screen.
4. Enter your password. (The default password is the RETURN key.)

NOTE
If the terminal you are using does not generate a Clear to Send
(CTS) signal, Request to Send (RTS) signal, or a Data Terminal
Ready (DTR) signal, the CTS jumpers on the IRM3 must be set
to compensate for these signals. Refer to Chapter 3 for
information on setting the CTS jumper.
NOTE
If you have entered a Superuser name at the Community
Names screen (refer to Section 4.5), the password will be the
Superuser name. If you have entered more than one
Superuser name, any of those names may be used as the
password.
