Connecting Serial Console and Mgmt Ports

To make basic connections (serial console and Mgmt ports):

1.

Locate the DB9-to-RJ45 serial cable provided with the GigaVUE TA Series node. This cable is called a console cable.

Note: This cable is Cisco-compatible.

2.

Connect the RJ45 end of the console cable to the console port.

 

3.

Connect the DB9 end of the console cable to a PC’s COM port.

4.

Connect a standard Ethernet cable (Cat5 or better) to the 1000 Mgmt port.

5.

Connect the other end of the ethernet cable to an Ethernet network.

Note:  If you have connected GigaVUE‑TA200E and GigaVUE‑TA25E to serial or IPMI consoles, it is recommended that you enable BIOS passwords for the devices.
