• A terminal or a computer with a serial port and the ability to emulate a terminal (such as
using the Hyper Terminal software included in some Microsoft Windows™ editions). The serial
console port uses the following default settings: 9600 bps, No parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit.
• A RS-232 cable with appropriate connectors. An appliance package includes a RS-232
null-modem cable.
To connect a terminal to the console port, follow these steps:
1. Set the terminal protocol as described previously.
2. Connect one of the connectors of the RS-232 cable directly to the console port on the
Clavister Security Gateway system.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the terminal or the serial connector of the computer
running the communications software.
4. Press the enter key on the terminal. The cOS Core login prompt should appear on the
terminal screen.
