Installation Guide

2. Connect one end of the cable to the appropriate port on the switch and

connect the other end to your computer or terminal.

3. If you connect a computer to a console port on the switch, start a terminal

emulation program:

• On a computer with a Windows operating system, you can use

HyperTerminal or Tera Term.

• On a computer with a Mac operating system, you can use ZTerm.

• On a computer with a Linux operating system, you can use TIP.

4. If you connect a computer to a console port on the switch, congure the

terminal emulation program to use the following settings: baud rate,

115,200bps; data bits, 8; parity, none; stop bit, 1; ow control, none.

5. At the user prompt, log in to the switch using the user name admin and press

Enter. At the password prompt, do not type a password but press Enter.

You can now use the CLI to manually congure the IP address of the switch, or

to use the ezcong utility, continue with the next step.

Note: For information about CLI management, see the CLI reference manual.

6. At the next command prompt, type ezcong and press Enter.

The ezcong utility is now running on the switch.

7. Using ezcong, set up the basic switch conguration, including a static IP

address and subnet mask.

8. Use the switch IP address that is assigned by ezcong to log in to the switch’s

local browser interface.

Find the IP address assigned by the DHCP server

By default, the switch functions as a DHCP client and gets its IP address from

a DHCP server in the network. To nd the assigned IP address of the switch’s

management interface or OOB port, connect a computer or VT100/ANSI terminal

to one of the console ports on the switch.

1. Make sure that the switch is connected to a DHCP server.
