Connect to the CLI of each FortiGate-4000 unit by connecting to the management 
interface module. Use the KVM switch module to switch serial connections to the CLI 
of each FortiGate-4000 unit installed in the FortiGate-4000 chassis. See 

 for the description of the KVM switch module.

To connect to the CLI of each FortiGate-4000 unit , you need:

• a computer with an available communications port,
• a RJ-45 to DB-9 cable included in your FortiGate package,
• terminal emulation software such as HyperTerminal for Windows.

Connect the black header of the RJ-45 to DB-9 cable to the communications port of 
your computer and to the management module console port.

Make sure that the FortiGate-4000 unit is powered on.

Use the KVM select buttons on the KVM switch module to select the FortiGate-4000 
unit that you want to connect to.

On the front panel of the FortiGate-4000 unit you select, press and hold the 
KVM/Access button for approximately 5 seconds for CLI access to the module.
The PWR/KVM LED turns green, and CLI access to the module is enabled.

Start HyperTerminal on your management computer, enter a name for the connection, 
and select OK.

Configure HyperTerminal to connect directly to the communications port on the 
computer to which you have connected the RJ-45 to DB-9 cable and select OK.

Select the following port settings and select OK.

Note: The following procedure describes how to connect to the CLI using Windows 
HyperTerminal software. You can use any terminal emulation program.
