After hardware setup, connect directly to the appliance through the serial port or the monitor and keyboard ports. For serial port activation, use:
*
9600 baud rate

8 data bits
*
no parity
The activation script, called firstboot, runs when you start the appliance.
See Perform initial command-line configuration.
After firstboot is run and the command-line shell is exited, accessing the appliance command-line shell requires the admin credentials ('admin' and the password you set during firstboot).
