XSR Getting Started Guide A-5
Console Port
The XSR comes equipped with a serial port useful for initial configuration.
Using a serial (null modem) cable, you can attach the router’s DB-9 Console port to a data terminal
port and directly configure the XSR over the asynchronous connection. Then, open a Microsoft
HyperTerminal or Telnet session to communicate with the router. If you use HyperTerminal, set
the connection properties as follows:
• Connect using: Direct to COMx (where x is an unused COM port)
• Bits per second: 9600
• Data bits: 8
•Parity: None
•Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: none
Refer to Figure A-1 for pinout assignments.
