Performing the Initial Configuration

Using a Console Connection

If you do not use DHCP to perform the initial configuration of your Nokia IP1200 Series
appliance, you must use a serial console connection (cable included). After you perform the
initial configuration, you no longer need the console connection.
You can use any standard VT100-compatible terminal with an RS-232 data terminal equipment
(DTE) interface or terminal-emulation program configured with the following settings for the
console:
9600 bps
8 data bits
No parity
1 stop bit
To connect to the console
1. Connect the supplied null-modem cable (console cable) to the console port on the front
panel of the IP1200 Series appliance.
Note
The supplied console cable is Cisco compatible.
Use only the DB9 port labeled Console on the front panel; the serial (AUX) port is an
auxiliary modem port.
If you connect the console port to a data communications equipment (DCE) device, use a
straight-through cable.
For cable pin assignments for the console connection, see
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the VT100 console or to a system running a terminal-
emulation program.

Connecting Power and Turning the Power On
