Figure 23: Console Port Connection
Follow these steps to connect to the Console port:
1. Connect one end of the included RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable to a DB-9 COM port
connector on a management PC.
2. Plug in the RJ-45 end of the serial cable to the Console port on the switch.
3. Configure the PC’s COM port required settings using VT-100 terminal emulator
software (such as HyperTerminal) running on the management PC. The switch’s
default console port settings are:
■
115200 bps, 8 data bits, 1-stop bit and no parity
4. Log in to the command-line interface (CLI) using one of the default user login
settings:
■
User — admin
■
Password — admin
or
■
User — guest
■
Password — guest
Note that the guest default user login will only allow a user to view switch
parameter data.
For a detailed description of connecting to the console and using the switch’s
command line interface (CLI), refer to the CLI Reference Guide.
