Connect to a Console for Local Administrative Access

You will need an RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable and a terminal adapter (RJ-45-to-DB-9 or RJ-45-to-DB-25) to connect a console. These cables and adapters are included. Take these steps:


Step 1   Connect one of the adapters, labeled TERMINAL, to the communications port (usually labeled COM) on your
PC or terminal. (This communications port is also known as a console.)

Step 2   Connect one end of the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable to the adapter.

Step 3   Connect the other end of the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable to the port labeled CONSOLE on the rear panel of the access server.

Step 4   Configure your PC terminal emulation software or terminal for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.

2    Install the Universal Access Server (continued)

Connect a Modem for Remote Administrative Access (Optional)

To configure the access server from a remote location, you will need an RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable and a modem adapter (RJ-45-to-DB-25) to connect a modem.

If you will not be using a modem to configure the access server remotely, skip this procedure and go to the next page.


Note The cable and adapter are included. The modem is not included.

Step 1   Connect the adapter labeled MODEM to your modem.
