Connecting and logging in via the Console port
To access the IPLink configuration via the console port, connect the DB9-RJ45 adapter to the DB-9 serial port
on the PC or dumb terminal. Use the RJ45 straight-through cable between the adapter and the console port on
the 2884/2888. (see
figure 10 ). Do NOT connect the device to the Ethernet LAN now. On the PC, start a
HyperTerminal session at 19200 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. Log into the unit using the user-
name admin. Leave the password field empty.
