Introduction
This chapter describes the initial system boot and basic configuration of Hillstone
SG-6000 series, using a PC as the console terminal.
Establishing a Configuration Environment
Hillstone devices support both local and remote configuration. Administrators can

Console (CON) Connection
For initial system configuration, you have to establish a Console connection
environment (connect the device to a configuration terminal through its Console
port).
To connect the PC to the CON port of the device, take following steps:
1. Set up a local configuration environment. Connect the Console port to the
serial port of a PC through a console cable, as shown in Figure 4-1:
