Initial Setup on a Serial Port Connection The serial port is located on the front panel of the controller. You can start the Initial Setup dialog when you connect a terminal, PC or workstation running a terminal emulation program to the serial port on the controller. The serial port connection only allows you to configure the basic configuration required to connect the controller to the network. The recommended browser-based Setup Wizard allows you to also install software licenses and configure internal and guest WLANs (see "Initial Setup Using the WebUI Setup Wizard" on page 2). If you use the Initial Setup dialog to configure the controller, the browser-based Setup Wizard will not be available unless you reset the controller to its factory default configuration. To run the Initial full setup dialog from a serial connection: 1. Configure your terminal or terminal emulation program to use the following communication settings: Table 3 Terminal Communication Settings Baud Rate Data Bits Parity Stop Bits Flow Control 9600 8 None 1 None 2. Connect your terminal or PC/workstation to the serial port on the controller using an RS-232 serial cable. All accessory kits shipped with Dell controllers contain an RJ-45 cable and DB-9 to RJ-45 adapter. You may need to provide a USB adapter to connect the serial cable to your PC. 3. Boot up the Dell controller. After the controller has booted up, you should see a screen similar to Figure 1 for branch controllers or Figure 2 for other controllers: Figure 1 Initial Setup Dialog User: admin Password: ******** (Dell W-7024) >enable Password:****** Auto-provisioning is in progress.
