Connecting Cables to Interfaces
To connect cables to the interfaces, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Place the chassis on a flat, stable surface, or in a rack (if you are rack-mounting it).
Step 2
Before connecting a computer or terminal to the ports, check to determine the baud
rate of the serial port. The baud rate must match the default baud rate (9600 baud) of
the Console port of the adaptive security appliance. Set up the terminal as follows:
9600 baud (default), 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bits, and Flow Control (FC) =
Hardware.

Note
You can configure any interface to be a management-only interface using
the management-only command. You can also disable management-only
mode on the management interface. For more information about this
command, see the management-only command in the Cisco Security
