Compute Platform firmware before installing the appliance on the network.
About this task
To connect the appliance and configure the inter-cluster connection:
Procedure
-
Connect the laptop serial port
to the 4120C console port.
If the laptop does not support RS232 interface, then obtain a USB to RS232
converter cable, which then connects to the RJ45-DB9F cable.

Using PuTTY, TeraTerm, or another terminal emulator, connect to the serial port
connection.
Ensure that your serial connection is set properly with the following
settings:
