Installing and Configuring the SAN Director 2/128 Establishing a Serial Connection The initial communication to a SAN Director 2/128 switch requires a serial connection. Follow these steps to establish a serial connection and log in to the switch: 1. Verify that the SAN Director 2/128 is powered on and that POST is complete by verifying that all power LED indicators on the 16-port cards and CP cards are displaying a steady green light. 2. Use the serial cable provided with the SAN Director 2/128 to connect the console port on the active CP card to a computer workstation. The console port is the second serial port from the top of the CP card; the active CP card is indicated by an illuminated (blue) LED (see "CP Cards" on page 86). The "Active CP" LED in the standby CP card should be off (not illuminated). Note: The console port is intended primarily for use during the initial setting of the IP address and for service purposes. If necessary, the adapter on the serial cable can be removed to allow for an RJ45 serial connection. 3. Access the switch using a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal on Windows 95®, 2000®, or NT®, or TERM in a UNIX® environment). Note: The SAN Director 2/128 supports up to two telnet sessions with administrative privileges at the same time. 4. Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation (such as synchronization programs). 5. Open the terminal emulator application and configure as follows: - Bits per second: 9600 - Databits: 8 - Parity: None - Stop bits: 1 - Flow control: None 60 SAN Director 2/128 Installation Guide
