Using a Terminal Session to Access the BSR
You can access the CLI by connecting a terminal or PC with terminal emulation
software to the BSR. The BSR supports one CLI session through its console port.
Follow these steps to start a terminal CLI session and set a password for the BSR:
1. Configure the terminal application on your PC to use COM port 1 or 2.
2. Confirm that a physical connection exists between the BSR and your terminal or
PC.
3. Start your terminal or terminal application and enter its configuration mode.
4. Make sure the communications are set as shown in the table below:
