Access the Device

  1. Ensure that the NFX150 device is powered on.
  2. Connect to the console port:
    1. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the console port on your NFX150 device.
    2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45—to—DB-9 serial port adapter shipped with your device.
    3. Connect the RJ-45—to—DB-9 serial port adapter to the serial port on the management device. Use the following values to configure the serial port:

      Baud rate—9600; Parity—N; Data bits—8; Stop bits—1; Flow control—None.

    Note: Alternately, you can use the USB cable to connect to the mini-USB console port on the device. To use the mini-USB console port, you must download the USB driver from the following page and install it on the management device:
