1. Verify that the terminal or terminal emulator has the correct settings.

   The terminal device can be an actual terminal, a laptop running a terminal emulator, or a terminal server. The terminal device must be set to the following:

   • 8N1: eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit
   • 9600 baud (default, can be set to any standard rate up to 57600)
   • Disable software flow control (XON/XOFF)

     The cable requires the following pin assignments.

     
     

     Pin Signal Description 1 Request To Send (RTS) 2 Data Terminal Ready (DTR) 3 Transmit Data (TXD) 4 Ground 5 Ground 6 Receive Data (RXD) 7 Data Set Ready (DSR) 8 Clear To Send (CTS)

2. Connect a terminal or terminal emulator to the serial management port on the Switched NEM.

   See Switched NEM External Ports for the location of the serial management port on the Switched NEM.

3. Press Enter on the terminal device.

   This action establishes the connection between the terminal device and the NEM ILOM.
