Cabling and Power-Up Configure System Consoles The revision B GSP has embedded web access, eliminating the need for an external Secure Web Console (SWC). Below is an illustration of the console access provided by the revision A GSP. GSP Cables Both the revision A and B GSPs provide a DB-25 connector for RS-232 communications. Connect the A5191-63001 W- cable to the revision A GSP DB25 connector or connect the A6144-63001 M-cable to the revision B GSP DB25 connector. These cables provide individual DB9 connectors for REMOTE, UPS and CONSOLE. NOTE Use the A5191-63001 W-cable with revision A GSP and A6144-63001 M-cable with revision B GSP only. Failure to use the right cable can result in reduced functionality. The W and M-cables are slightly different. The W-cable has full RS-232 capability on the REMOTE and CONSOLE connectors and partial RS-232 capability on the UPS connector. The M-cable has full RS-232 capability on the REMOTE and UPS connectors and partial RS-232 capability on the CONSOLE connector. The cable change is to be consistent with rp54xx functionality. The cables are different colors to easily tell them apart. The W-cable is gray and has part number A5191-63001. The M-cable is black and has part number A6144-63001. Configure RS-232 Console The physical connections for an RS-232 console include attaching the correct cable to the GSP. Next, connect the 24542G cable (supplied) to the CONSOLE connector and the serial port of the ASCII console. A personal computer (PC) running terminal emulation software may be used in place of an ASCII console. Refer to the illustration below for RS-232 console. Chapter 3 59

The revision B GSP has embedded web access, eliminating the need for an external Secure Web Console
(SWC). Below is an illustration of the console access provided by the revision A GSP.
GSP Cables
Both the revision A and B GSPs provide a DB-25 connector for RS-232 communications. Connect the
A5191-63001 W- cable to the revision A GSP DB25 connector or connect the A6144-63001 M-cable to the
revision B GSP DB25 connector. These cables provide individual DB9 connectors for REMOTE, UPS and
CONSOLE.
NOTE
Use the A5191-63001 W-cable with revision A GSP and A6144-63001 M-cable with revision B
GSP
only
. Failure to use the right cable can result in reduced functionality.
The W and M-cables are slightly different. The W-cable has full RS-232 capability on the REMOTE and
CONSOLE connectors and partial RS-232 capability on the UPS connector. The M-cable has full RS-232
capability on the REMOTE and UPS connectors and partial RS-232 capability on the CONSOLE connector.
The cable change is to be consistent with rp54xx functionality. The cables are different colors to easily tell
them apart. The W-cable is gray and has part number A5191-63001. The M-cable is black and has part
number A6144-63001.
Configure RS-232 Console
The physical connections for an RS-232 console include attaching the correct cable to the GSP. Next, connect
the 24542G cable (supplied) to the CONSOLE connector and the serial port of the ASCII console. A personal
computer (PC) running terminal emulation software may be used in place of an ASCII console. Refer to the
illustration below for RS-232 console.
