Connecting a Console to a PortMaster
- Connect a null modem cable to the console port on your PortMaster. (This will be either C0 or S0 depending on the type of PortMaster.)
- Attach a terminal or workstation in terminal emulation mode for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and software flow control (XON/XOFF) off.
- Turn DIPswitch 1 up.
- Power cycle the PortMaster. (Turn power off, then back on.)
- You should see diagnostic boot sequence messages ending with a console login prompt.
