Open a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal on a PC, or TERM, TIP, or Kermit in a
UNIX® environment), and configure the application as follows:
• In a Windows® environment:
Parameter
Bits per second
Databits
Parity
Stop bits
Flow control
• In a UNIX environment, enter the following string at the prompt:
tip /dev/ttyb -9600
If ttyb is already in use, you can use ttya (enter tip /dev/ttya -9600).
3.
Observe the following considerations for serial connections:
• Some procedures require that you connect through the serial port, for example, setting the IP
address or setting the boot PROM password.
• If secure mode is enabled, connect through the serial port of the primary FCS switch.
• For the Core Switch 2/64, SAN Director 2/128, and 4/256 SAN Director, you can connect to
CP0 or CP1 using either of the two serial ports.

Setting the IP address

You must connect through the serial port to set the IP address (see
page 21). After connecting, issue the ipAddrSet command to set the IP address.
CAUTION:
The use of IP address 0.0.0.0 is not supported. Do not use this address.
Fabric OS versions beginning with 2.6.0, 3.1.0, and 4.0.0 support Classless Inter-Domain
Routing (CIDR).

Setting the default account passwords

For each logical switch (domain), there are admin and user default access accounts. These accounts
designate the following levels of authorization—called roles—for using the system:
Admin level for administrative use
User level for non-administrative use, such as monitoring system activity
SwitchAdmin level for administrative use, except for security, user management, and zoning
Two accounts—factory and root—are reserved for development and manufacturing. You can change their
passwords, which is optional, but do not use these accounts under normal circumstances.
Table 2
shows the number of simultaneous login sessions allowed for each role.
