The Console port on the NS5x00 Sensor is used for setup and configuration of the Sensor.

Steps:

  1. For console connections, plug in the DB9 Console cable supplied by Trellix into the Console port on the Sensor.

    This port is labeled Console in the Sensor front panel.

  2. Connect the other end of the Console port cable directly to a COM port of the computer or terminal server you will use to configure the Sensor, for example, a computer running correctly configured Windows HyperTerminal software.

    You must connect directly to the console for initial configuration; you cannot configure the Sensor remotely. Terminal servers are provided for console access. Required settings for HyperTerminal are listed below:
