Cyclades-TS Installation & Service Manual
CHAPTER 6 CONFIGURATION
This chapter guides you step by step through the configuration of the Cyclades-TS for the three principal
applications:
1. Console Server,
2. Terminal Server, and
3. Remote Access Server.
Many steps are common to both, so please read the entire chapter before beginning.
STEP ONE
Connect a PC or terminal to the Cyclades-TS using the console cable. If using a PC, HyperTerminal can be
used in the Windows operating system and Kermit or Minicom in the Unix operating system. The terminal
parameters should be set as follows:
• Serial Speed: 9600 bps
• Data Length: 8 bits
• Parity: None
• Stop Bits: 1 stop bit
• Flow Control: none
• Ansi emulation (Note: if your terminal does not have ansi emulation, select vt100; then, on the TS, log in as
root and switch to vt100 by typing “TERM=vt100;export TERM”)
When the Cyclades-TS boots properly, a login banner will appear.
Log in as root (default password is tslinux). A new password should be created as soon as possible. The Cyclades-
TS runs Linux, a Unix-like operating system, and those familiar with the Unix operating system will feel quite at
home. A description of the Linux file system and basic commands is given in Appendix A at the end of this manual.
