Using an RS-232 cable, connect an available COM port of the PC (9-pin D-type connector) to the RS232 port on the faceplate of the SYSCTL circuit pack (RJ45-type connector).

Start a terminal emulation program (for example, TERM, Hyper Terminal) with the following settings:

• Baud Rate: 9600

• Character Size: 8

• Stop Bits:1

• Parity: none

• Flow Control: xon/xoff

• Local echo: off

When the program opens, connect to the COM port on the PC that is connected to the network element and press the ENTER key several times. Is the network element TID displayed?

Using the TID that was displayed, attempt to log in to the network element. Was the log in attempt successful?
