If you need to configure Cisco EPNM locally (without connecting to a wired LAN), you can connect a PC to the console port
on the Cisco EPNM appliance using a null-modem cable.
The serial console connector (port) provides access to CLI locally by connecting a terminal to the console port. The terminal
is a PC running terminal-emulation software or an ASCII terminal. The console port (EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous) requires only
a null-modem cable.
To connect a PC running terminal-emulation software to the console port, use a DB-9 female to DB-9 female null-modem cable.
To connect an ASCII terminal to the console port, use a DB-9 female to DB-25 male straight-through cable with a DB-25 female
to DB-25 female gender changer.
The default parameters for the console port are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no hardware flow control.

If you are using a Cisco switch on the other side of the connection, set the switchport to duplex auto, speed auto (the default).
