2.2. Console Port Connection

The serial console port is a physical RS-232 port on the SG3200 Series hardware.

This port allows direct management connection to the appliance, either from a separate

computer running console emulation software or from a console terminal. Serial console access

can then be used for both management of CorePlus with CLI commands or to enter the boot

menu in order to access SG3200 Series firmware loader options.

Tip: Skip this section for now if the web interface is used

This section can be initially skipped if initial CorePlus setup is done with the CorePlus

Web Interface since neither boot menu or CLI access will be needed.

Issuing CLI Commands

CLI commands can be issued via the RS-232 console port for both initial CorePlus setup as well as

for ongoing system administration.
