Connect to a Fabric Interconnect
F1-4's Management Module
The procedure in this section documents using
a serial connection to the Fabric Interconnect's management port.
However, a default address is set for the Management port (192.168.1.1),
so you can also use an Ethernet connection for initial configuration
of the Fabric Interconnect.
To connect to the Management Module on a Fabric Interconnect
F1-4:
- Connect
a laptop or a remote console to the Serial 1 port on the Management module.
(This connection is required for the initial system configuration.)
See Fabric Interconnect F1-4 Management Module for Connection to Management Console.

Module for Connection to Management Console
There are two ways to connect to the serial port on the Fabric
Interconnect Management module:
- Connect directly
to the Serial 1 port on the Management module. This step requires
an adaptor that supports straight-through CAT-5 cable (or the equivalent).
See Connecting the Management Port to a DB9 Serial Port.
- Connect a remote system to the
Serial 1 port using a serial console terminal concentrator (for
example, Cyclades).
- Verify that the serial port on
your system is set up as follows:
