Troubleshooting

If you are unable to establish a local management session with the

switch through the RS-232 Terminal Port on the front panel, do the

following:

# Check to be sure that the RS-232 cable is securely connected to

the RS-232 Terminal Port on the switch and to the RS-232 port on

the terminal or personal computer.

# Check to be sure that you are using a straight-through RS-232

cable. Do not use a cross-over cable.

# Check to be sure that the operating parameters on the terminal or

the terminal emulation program, if you are using a personal

computer, have been set correctly. The default settings for the

RS232 Terminal Port can be found in Starting a Local

Management Session on page 71.
