Access the CAS Over a Serial Connection
To install the Clean Access Server software from the CD-ROM or to perform its initial configuration,
you will need to access the server machine’s command line. This can be done in one of two ways:
you will need to access the server machine’s command line. This can be done in one of two ways:
1.
Connect a monitor and keyboard directly to the machine via the keyboard connector and video
monitor/console connector on the back panel, or

2.
Connect a serial cable from an external workstation (PC/laptop) to the server machine and open a
serial connection using terminal emulation software (such as HyperTerminal or SecureCRT) on the
external workstation.

This section describes how to access the server machine over a serial connection.
Note
The steps described here for accessing the server directly through a serial connection can be used later
for troubleshooting. If the server cannot be reached through the web admin console, you can serially
connect to the server to restore the server to a reachable state, usually by correcting its network settings.

To use a serial connection, first connect the computer you will be using as the workstation to an available
serial port on the server machine with a serial cable.

Note
If the server is already configured for high availability, its serial port may already be in use for the peer
connection. In this case, the computer needs to have at least two serial ports to be able to manage the
server over a serial connection. If it does not, you have the option of freeing the serial port by using an
Ethernet connection for the peer connection. For more information, see
