You must use an RS-232 serial cable using terminal emulation software such as Microsoft HyperTerminal.

Connect the cable from your computer to the console port on the DSL-500 or DSL-504.

Step 1 Go to Start>Programs>Accessories>Communications>Hyperterminal.

Step 2 Enter a name for your connection and choose the default icon selected.

Step 5 At the command prompt type isfs cat inituser and press enter. You will now see the username and password.
