Using the BayStack Model 350T 10/100 Autosense Switch
3-2 893-00992-A
Service Port Cabling
You can connect a console terminal directly to the BayStack 350T switch service
port or you can connect a modem to the switch service port for remote access to
the CI menus.
Console Terminal Requirements
To connect a console terminal to the BayStack 350T switch service port, you need
the following equipment:
• An ASCII character terminal that has an RS-232 serial port or a computer that
has an RS-232 serial port and terminal emulation, typically a PC running
common communications software
• A standard RS-232 serial communications cable with a DB-9 connector at
one end for connection to the service port and an appropriate connector
(usually a DB-9 or DB-25 connector) at the other end for connection to the
serial port on the console terminal
Modem Requirements
To connect a modem to the BayStack 350T switch service port, you need the
following equipment:
• A 9600 baud (or higher speed) modem is recommended. The service port
speed is set to 9600 baud (default factory setting) but supports 2400 baud
through 38400 baud, as long as the speed at both ends of the communications
link are identical.
• A standard RS-232 serial communications null-modem cable with a DB-9
connector at one end for connection to the service port and an appropriate
connector (usually a DB-9 or DB-25 connector) at the other end for
connection to the serial port on the modem is required.
Set the modem’s serial port speed to match the speed of the BayStack 350T
service port (9600 baud is the default). See “
Service Port Configuration” on
page
3-32 to modify the switch service port.
Note: To ensure correct connections between the service port and the console
or modem port, refer to the service port pin assignments in Appendix
B,
“Connectors and Pin Assignments.”
