10.12 Console Interface
Via the console port, administrators can enter the console interface for handling problems and
situations occurred during operation.
1. In order to connect to the console port of WSG-500, a console, modem cable and a terminal
simulation program, such as the Hyper Terminal are needed.
2. If a Hyper Terminal is used, please set the parameters as 9600, 8, None, 1, None.
Caution:
The main console is a menu-driven text interface with dialog boxes. Please use arrow keys on the
keyboard to browse the menu and press the Enter key to make selection or confirm what you enter.
3. Once the console port of WSG-500 is connected properly, the console main screen will appear
automatically. If the screen does not appear in the terminal simulation program automatically,
please try to press the arrow keys, so that the terminal simulation program will send some
messages to the system, and the welcome screen or main menu should appear. If the welcome
screen or main menu of the console still does not pop up, please check the connection of the cables
and the settings of the terminal simulation program.
