a console port that does not accommodate a DB-9 connector, you must provide an appropriate adapter for that port.
The LED for the console port turns green and within a few moments the Found New Hardware Wizard appears.
Step 5 Follow the instructions to complete the driver installation.
Step 6
To communicate with the ASA, start a terminal emulator application. This software should be configured with the
following parameters:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• no parity
• 1 stop bit
• no flow control
