To communicate with the device through the console, you must have a terminal emulation program running
on your console terminal. You can use any terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal. A UNIX
workstation can use the emulator TIP.
To connect a console directly to the CTP150 device:
1. Connect the RJ-45 connector to the CONSOLE port.
2. Connect the crossover adapter connector to your console’s serial port.
3. You can now power on the device. See “Powering On and Initially Configuring the CTP150 Device” on
page 80.
