getting in
fatlob...@yahoo.com
I'm new to the pix 515e. I want to determine how much memory, software
installed, processor, etc. Is there a way or a place that I can go to
help a computer literate but virgin to firealls person (me) so I can
get walked through the process? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Log on to the device. enable. Issue the command "show version".
If I recall correctly, all of the information you asked for is given
there.

have it hooked to my pc but I heard that I have to match ip addresses
and telnet which is way beyong my knowledge. Is it a big deal to do all
of this?

Take the serial cable you got with the PIX 515E. Connect it to
a serial port on your PC. Plug the RJ45 end into the "console" connection
on the 515E. If you don't know which one that is, look at the
diagram at

Then on your PC, fire up Hyperterm and set it to use the appropriate
COM port at 9600 8 N 1. Now press return in the Hyperterm window.
Alternately, follow the instructions in chapter 3 of the Quick Start
Guide at

I don't use googlegroups for actively reading postings (only
when I am researching old postings), so your previous postings
are not visible on my screen. It would therefore be appreciated
if you would follow the Usenet convention of quoting enough of
the previous conversation to establish the context of your remarks.
For example if you go back and re-read your message in isolation,
you will see that there is no reference present as to what kind
of device you are using -- that's why I stuck the "[PIX 515E]" in,
to give back that necessary context.

You haven't provided any information about what kind of
PC you are using or how it is set up, so I will have to make
wild guesses here.
In most PCs that I have seen, COM3 is either not connected at all,
or is a modem port; the standard serial ports that are connected
are COM1 and COM2. On most laptops that I have seen, the standard
serial ports are COM1 and COM3 with COM2 not present, and COM3
usually being a modem port. So, lacking further information, I
would -suspect- that you have used the wrong COM port number and
that if you are talking to anything, you are talking to a modem.

Hi Walter
I have one serial port on my PC so I used the pc connector then the
rj45 cable out of there and into the console. I tried doing com1 setup,
com 2 setup and com3. Which number com should I use?
The quick start guide says the hardware features 433 celeron processor,
64 mb for UR and FO pix systems which I have one of each. Is is safe to
assume that I have at least that and all the other info that is listed
like 16mb flash, etc.? I think also when I was trying to load software
it said 6.3 which like the other stuff, is this probably what the
system has?
These are brand new so hopefully it won't be a big deal to get in now
that I may be somwhat setup. Is it a project to do the rest?
I really appreciate your assistance.
