Connecting to the Switch
The console interface is used by connecting the Switch to a
VT100-compatible terminal or a computer running an
ordinary terminal emulator program (e.g., the Hyper
Terminal program included with the Windows operating
system) using an RS-232C serial cable. Your terminal
parameters will need to be set to:
• VT-100/ANSI compatible
• 9,600 baud
• 8 data bits
• No parity
• One stop bit
• No flow control
You can also access the same functions over a TELNET
interface. Once you have set an IP address for your Switch,
you can use a TELNET program (in VT-100 compatible
terminal mode) to access and control the Switch. All of the
screens are identical, whether accessed from the console
port or from a TELNET interface.
Console Usage Conventions
The console interface makes use of the following
conventions:
1. Items in <angle brackets> can be toggled between several
choices using the space bar.
2. Items in [square brackets]can be changed by typing in a new
value. You can use the backspace and delete keys to erase
characters behind and in front of the cursor.
3. The up and down arrow keys, the left and right arrow keys, the
tab key and the backspace key, can be used to move between
selected items.
