2.4 Console Port
For the initial configuration, you need to use terminal emulator software on a computer and connect it to the AES-
100 through the console port. Connect the male 9-pin end of the console cable to the console port of the AES-100.
Connect the other end (either a female 25-pin or female 9-pin) to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port)
of your computer. You can use an extension RS-232 cable if the enclosed one is too short. After the initial setup,
you can modify the configuration remotely through telnet connections.
