CLI Access

1
Use a DB9 to RJ45 connector to connect the serial port of your PC to the console port of your firewall.
2
Using a terminal emulator program, such as TerraTerm, use the following parameters:
•
115,200 baud
•
8 bits
•
No parity
•
1 stop bit
•
No flow control
3
You may need to hit return two to three times to get to a command prompt, which will look similar to the following:

TZ200>

If you have used any other CLI, such as Unix shell or Cisco IOS, this process should be relatively easy and similar. It has auto-complete so you do not have to type in the entire command.

4
When a you need to make a configuration change, you should be in configure mode. To enter configure mode, type configure.

TZ200 > configure

(config[TZ200])>

The command prompt changes and adds the word config to distinguish it from the normal mode. Now you can configure all the settings, enable and disable the VPNs, and configure the firewall.
