Starting A Console Session; Connecting A Terminal Directly - HP 10:10 LAN Bridge MB Installation And Reference Manual

Starting a Console Session

Connect a terminal to the bridge's console port directly or through modems, as described
below. Any terminal or terminal emulation program that can communicate using the ASCII
TTY driver mode can be used.

Connecting a Terminal Directly

1. Connect a terminal, or a PC emulating a terminal, to the console port using an
RS-232-C "crossover" cable. For pin-outs and recommended cables see appendix A,
"Cables and Connectors".
2. Switch on the terminal's power, or switch on the PC's power and start the terminal
emulation program. Configure the terminal for 8 bits per character, 1 stop bit, no parity,
Xon/Xoff handshaking, and a baud rate of 9600, 2400, 1200, or 300.
3. Press RETURN several times for the prompt, Main>. The baud rate for communication
between the bridge and the terminal is set automatically when you press RETURN.
If you have configured a bridge access password, you will first be prompted to enter the
password. By default, there is no password. (For information on the PAssword
command, see chapter 4, "Operation".)
If you cannot get a prompt, see "If You Have Trouble with a Terminal or Modem
Connection" later in this chapter.
