Connecting to the command line interface (CLI)
As an alternative to the web-based manager, you can install and configure the 
FortiGate unit using the CLI. Configuration changes made with the CLI are effective 
immediately without resetting the firewall or interrupting service.
To connect to the FortiGate CLI, you need:
• a computer with an available communications port,
• the RJ-45 serial cable included in your FortiGate package,
• terminal emulation software such as HyperTerminal for Windows.
To connect to the CLI
1
Make sure that the FortiGate unit is powered on.
2
Start HyperTerminal, enter a name for the connection, and select OK.
3
Configure HyperTerminal to connect directly to the communications port on your 
computer and select OK.
4
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.
