The Bridge's serial console port is located under the screw cap
on the front of the chassis, above the battery compartment, as
shown in Figure 2.1.
To access the port, use a screwdriver or similarly shaped object
(such as a key) to loosen the cap and then unscrew it. Be sure
to replace and tighten the cap securely when the port is not in
use. Refer to the
CLI Software Guide for serial port settings.
2.2 Connecting the ES210
The ES210 can be connected temporarily for preconfiguration
of the Bridge software and then permanently for deployment.
2.2.1 Connections for Preconfiguration

deployment. This section provides instructions for temporarily
connecting the ES210 Bridge for preconfiguration.
If the Bridge will be powered with the battery, first follow the
instructions in Section 2.1.2.1.
1 Position the Bridge so that it operates only within its safe
temperature range (14º–140º F/

10º–60º C).
CAUTION: To en-
sure optimal per-
formance, the battery
should be fully charged
before its initial use.
2 If you are powering the Bridge with the internal battery,
install and fully charge the battery according to the
instructions in Section 2.1.2.1.
or
If you are powering the Bridge only through the
DC Power
input, connect it to the power adapter that shipped with the
Bridge, and connect the adapter to a properly rated AC
power outlet.
3 Connect the Bridge’s Ethernet port to a computer or switch
on the wired LAN.
4 Power the Bridge on by depressing and holding for five
seconds the lower
Power On button on the left side of the
