The Installation and Configuration Process
Task 1: Connect the BLACK BOX ® Advanced Console Server to the Network and other Devices
Power Users
Connect a PC or terminal to the BLACK BOX ® Advanced Console Server using the console
cable. If you are using a PC, HyperTerminal can be used in the Windows operating system and
Kermit or Minicom in the UNIX operating system. When the BLACK BOX ® Advanced Con-
sole Server boots properly, a login banner will appear. Log in as root (default password is
linux). A new password should be created as soon as possible. The terminal parameters
should be set as follows:
• Serial Speed: 9600 bps
• Data Length: 8 bits
• Parity: None
• Stop Bits: 1 stop bit
• Flow Control: none
• ANSI emulation
You may now skip to Task 4: Edit the pslave.conf file
.
Important! Any configuration change must be saved in flash once validated.
To save in
Flash run saveconf (see Task 7: Save the changes). To validate/acti-
vate a configuration, run signal_ras hup (see Task 5: Activate the changes
).
Note: If your terminal does not have ANSI emulation, select vt100; then, on the-
BLACK BOX ® Advanced Console Server, log in as root and switch to vt100 by
typing:
TERM=vt100;export TERM
