Advanced Information
Serial console port
You can connect a console terminal to the DB-9 connector on the back panel of
the RaQ 4. The terminal can be either an ASCII terminal or a PC running
terminal software. The console terminal should have the following
communications parameters—115 200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity and one stop
bit.
Initializing the RaQ 4 through the
serial console port
Instead of assigning the initial network settings for the RaQ 4 server through the
LCD console, you can connect the server to a terminal and assign the network
settings through the serial console port.
This feature allows the assignment of network parameters only (IP address,
netmask, gateway).
✍
Note: You can use the initialize the RaQ 4 through the serial
console port only once, much like proceeding through the
browser-based Setup Wizard.
