Caution The local-connection port described in this book generates,
uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy through cables that are
connected to it. This energy may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not leave any cables connected to it when you are not
communicating with the controller.

Follow these steps to establish a local connection for setting the
controller’s initial configuration:

1. Turn off the PC or terminal, and connect it to the controller, as shown in

Figure 2–2.

a.

For a PC connection, plug one end of the maintenance port
cable into the terminal; plug the other end into the controller’s
maintenance port.

a.

For a terminal connection, refer to Figure 1–4 on page 1–10 for
cabling information.

2. Turn on the PC or terminal.

3. Configure the terminal for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no

parity.

4. Press the Enter or Return key. A copyright notice and the CLI prompt

appear, indicating that you established a local connection with the
controller.

5. Optional: to increase the data transfer rate to 19200 baud:

a.

Set the controller to 19200 baud with one of the following
commands:

SET THIS_CONTROLLER TERMINAL SPEED=19200

SET OTHER_CONTROLLER TERMINAL SPEED=19200

b.

Configure the PC or terminal for 19200 baud.

When you are entering CLI commands in a dual-redundant controller
configuration, remember that the conroller to which you’re connected is
“this controller” and the remaining controller is the “other controller”.
See Figure 2–3.
