At the CLI, you can configure Telnet or SSH for remote access. Logging in through the console port for the first time To log in through the console port, make sure the console terminal has a terminal emulation program (for example, HyperTerminal in Windows XP). In addition, the port settings of the terminal emulation program must be the same as the default settings of the console port in Table 11.
