No keyboard or mouseconnections are enabled. To connect your PC to the VCX server, use a“Serial Cables” and run a “Terminal Emulation Program” on your PC.Serial Cables The null modem cable for IBM servers must have these characteristics:■ DB9 female connector on each end■ Sufficient length to reach from the PC to the VCX serverThe serial cable for 3Com V6000 (Analog) and V6100 (Digital) serverscomes with the server. One end connects to the serial port (marked 1010)on the connection module located in the middle lower portion of thefront panel.CAUTION: Insert and remove the cable connector very gently whenattaching the cable to the V6000 front panel.
