Connecting the Management Interfaces
This chapter explains how to connect the SCE8000 Service Control Module (SCE8000-SCM-E) to a
local console and perform the initial system configuration via the setup wizard that runs automatically.
Additionally, this chapter contains instructions for cabling the Gigabit Ethernet Management interfaces.
The Console interface (CON) as well as the Gigabit management interface (Port1) are located on the
SCE8000-SCM-E located in slot# 1 of the Cisco SCE8000 chassis (see Service Control Module
(SCE8000-SCM-E), page 2-2).

How to Set Up the Local Console
Even if you will be managing the Cisco SCE8000 from a remote location, you must first connect the unit
to a local console and configure the initial settings for the Cisco SCE8000 to support remote
management. When the initial connection is established, the setup utility will run automatically,
prompting you to perform the initial system configuration.
This section provides instructions for setting up your local terminal at your workstation, to enable you
to perform the initial system configuration of the Cisco SCE8000 system using the setup utility.
Make sure that the terminal configuration is as follows:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• No Parity
• 1 stop bits
• No flow control
The above Cisco SCE8000 port parameters are fixed and are not configurable.
