Configuring the Workstation Serial Port
To configure the workstation serial port:
1. Connect the cable with RJ45 to DB9F adapter from a COM port on the
management workstation to the serial port on the router.
2. Configure the workstation serial port according to your platform. These steps
may vary according to the version of operating system you use:
For Windows:
a. Open the HyperTerminal application. From the Windows Start
menu, select Programs>
Accessories>HyperTerminal>HyperTerminal.
b. Enter a name for the router connection, choose an icon in the
Connection Description window, then click OK.
c. Enter the following COM Port settings in the COM Properties
window and click OK.
Bits per second – 115200
Data Bits – 8
Parity – None
Stop Bits – 1
Flow Control – None
For Linux:
a. Set up minicom to use the serial port. Create or modify the
/etc/minirc.dfl file with the following content:
pr portdev/ttyS0
pu minit
pu mreset
pu mhangup
pr portdev/ttyS0 specifies port 0 on the workstation.
Choose the pr setting to match the workstation port to which you
connected the router.
b. Verify that all users have permission to run minicom. Review the
/etc/minicom.users file and confirm that the line ALL exists
or that there are specific user entries.
For Solaris – Modify the /etc/remote file to include the following
lines. /dev/term/a refers to serial port a. Choose the “dv” setting to
match the workstation port to which you connected the router.
\:dv=/dev/term/a:br#115200:el=^C^S^Q^U^D:ie=%$:oe=^
