Performing the Initial Configuration
Note
Nokia recommends that you physically install all hardware components
before you perform the initial configuration procedure this chapter
describes. For information about how to install other components, see
Chapter 6, "Installing Flash-Memory PC Cards."

Using a Console Connection

If you do not use DHCP to perform the initial configuration of your Nokia
IP200 appliance, you must use a serial console connection (cable included).
After you perform the initial configuration, the console connection is no
longer required.
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 IP200 appliance.
Use only the DB9 port labeled Console on the front panel; the serial port
(AUX) is an auxiliary modem port.
