About Configuring Your Laptop
You can access the Command Line Interface (CLI) command screen by running terminal emulation
software, such as ProComm, Windows Terminal, or HyperTerminal. Configure your laptop COM port
with the parameters listed in

No phone number or area code is needed for direct connections to a COM port. Depending on the
configuration of the laptop, the direct connection (9-pin connector) may be any of the COM ports, but
it most likely is COM 1.
Set up the terminal emulation software to emulate a VT100 terminal. If your laptop is connected to a
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server and the operating system is running, the login prompt
appears. It is sometimes necessary to press Enter once or twice.
The default username is admin, and the default password is cisco.
If the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server is not powered on yet, you will not see the login prompt.
