1. Straighten a paper clip and press into the pin-size hole next to console LED on the front panel of the unit. All LEDs on the front of the unit will light up.
2. Press the paper clip in again and hold it in for 3-5 seconds. The LEDs will light up in a sweeping fashion from right to left, then left to right. When this sweeping stops, there will be 2 or 3 LEDS to the right lit, at this point release the paper clip.

You should have a terminal attached to one of the serial ports on the back of the unit. Press the ENTER key several times for the port to autobaud. You will see a text display similar to this:
