Appendix D Quick Setup By Using the CLI-Based Setup Program

Starting the Terminal Emulation Software

Before you power on the switch, start the terminal emulation session so that you

can see the output display from the power-on self-test (POST).

The terminal-emulation software—frequently a PC application such as

Hyperterminal or ProcommPlus—makes communication between the switch and

your PC or terminal possible.

Step 1 Start the terminal-emulation program if you are using a PC or terminal.

Step 2 Start a terminal-emulation session.

Step 3 Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match these

console port default characteristics:

• 9600 baud

• 8 data bits

• 1 stop bit

• No parity

• None (flow control)

Connecting to a Power Source

Follow these steps to connect to a power source:

Step 1 Connect one end of the supplied AC power cord to the power connector on a

switch rear panel. See Figure D-4.

Step 2 Connect the other end of the power cable to a grounded AC outlet.

Step 3 (Optional) If you have a stack, power on all the switches in the stack.

Note If you have stacked your switches, refer to the “Powering Considerations”

section on page 3-13 for more information.
