For more information about using the built-in Manager interface, refer to Chapter 3, "Router Configuration." Connecting Through the Serial Port You can access the built-in interface through the RJ-45 serial Manager port by using a VT100 terminal or by using a terminal-emulation program on your PC or workstation. If you are using Windows, for example, Microsoft® provides HyperTerminal with Windows 95. Be sure to set the program for VT100 emulation, including arrow keys. Serial port parameters are as follows: • 9600 bps • 8 data bits • 1 stop bit • No parity • No flow control After the serial session is opened, refer to Chapter 3, "Router Configuration," for further information about the different methods of configuring your router and for configuration instructions.
