Using a Console Connection (RS-232 DCE)
The NetDefend Firewall provides an RS-232
serial port that supports a connection to a
computer or console terminal for monitoring
and configuring the device. This port uses a
male DB-9 connector, implemented as a data
communication terminal equipment (DCE)
connection.
To use the console port connection, you need
the following equipment:
1.
A terminal or a computer with both a serial
port and the ability to emulate a terminal.
2.
A RS-232 cable with female DB-9
connector. (included in the package)
3.
If your Laptop or PC doesn't have RS-232
connector, an adapter is required.
Note: DFL-1600/DFL-2500 does not come with
an RS-232 adapter.

To establish a console connection:
1.
Plug the female end of the supplied RS-232
cable directly to the console port on the
Firewall, and tighten the captive retaining
screws.
2.
Connect the other end of the cable to a
terminal or to the serial connector of a
computer running terminal emulation
software. Use the following settings for
terminal emulation software:
Baud rate: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
3.
Once you have correctly set up the terminal,
switch on your device. A boot sequence will
appear on the terminal screen.
4.
Once the boot sequence completes, the
command prompt is displayed, the device is
ready to be configured.
