Brocade Communications Systems 8770-4 Manual Do Utilizador

NOTE

To protect the serial port from damage, keep the cover on the port when not in use.

To establish a serial connection to the serial (console) port on the Brocade VDX 8770-4, complete the following 
steps.

2. Remove the shipping cap from the serial port (labeled I0I0I) on the active MM. 

By default, the MM installed in slot M1 is the active MM unless an error occurs. The active MM is also indicated 
by an illuminated green LED labeled ACTIVE.

3. Use the serial cable provided with the Brocade VDX 8770-4 to connect the serial port on the active MM to a 

computer workstation.

If the serial port on the workstation or terminal device is DB9 instead of RJ-45, remove the adapter on the end of 
the serial cable and insert the exposed DB9 connector into the DB9 serial port on the workstation.

ATTENTION

The serial port is intended primarily for the initial setting of the IP address and for service purposes. 

4. Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation (such as synchronization programs).

5. Open a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal on a PC, or TERM, TIP, or Kermit in a UNIX 

environment), and configure the application as follows:

•

In a Windows environment, use the following parameters:
