228 Section II: Installing the Chassis
Local (Console) Management Session
If you are unable to establish a local management session with the switch
through the Console RS-232 port on the controller card, do the following:
 Check to be sure that the RJ-45 serial management cable is
securely connected to the Console RS-232 port on the controller
card and the RS-232 port on the terminal or personal computer.
 If the chassis has two controller cards, you should be able to use
the Console RS-232 port on either card to establish a local
management session with the chassis. If you are unsuccessful
establishing a session on one of the controller cards, try
connecting to the Console RS-232 port on the other card.
 Check to be sure that the operating parameters on the terminal or
the terminal emulation program, if you are using a personal
computer, have been set correctly. The default settings for the RJ-
45 serial terminal port are located in “Using Local Management to
Verify the Chassis” on page 212.
 Check to be sure that the terminal emulator application is
compatible with a VT-100 terminal.
