What serial cable should be used to establish a console session, and how should the port be configured?
The HP serial console cable part number 5183-7771 ships standard with the ProCurve Routing Switch 9300 Series. Other RS-232C cables can be used, such as Radio Shack catalog number 26152B, which have female DB9 connectors and are wired “straight-through” (i.e., pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, etc.). The serial port should be configured with no flow control, 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
