Navigating CLI Modes
The Dell prompt changes to indicate the CLI mode. You must move linearly
through the command modes, with the exception of the end command which
takes you directly to EXEC Privilege mode; the exit command moves you up
one command mode level.
Console Access
The console port is an asynchronous serial port. If you connect a device to these
ports, it must be capable of asynchronous transmission.
Step Task
1 Install an RJ-45 copper cable into the console port. Use a rollover cable to
connect the C7004/C150 or C7008/C300 console port to a terminal server.
2 Connect the other end of the cable to the DTE terminal server.
3 Set your terminal or terminal emulation mode to VT100 with the
following settings:
• 9600 baud rate (To avoid autobaud input, the default is set to a 9600
BPS.)
• No parity
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• Window Terminal Emulator option set to NO
• 24 lines X 80 characters
• No flow control
