Direct Access

Direct access to the administration console is achieved by directly connecting a terminal or a PC equipped with a

terminal-emulation program (such as HyperTerminal) to the Managed Switch console (serial) port.

When using this management method, a straight DB9 RS-232 cable is required to connect the switch to the PC. After

making this connection, configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following parameters:

The default parameters are:

 57600 bps

 8 data bits

 No parity

 1 stop bit

Figure 3-5: Terminal parameter settings

You can change these settings, if desired, after you log on. This management method is often preferred because you can

remain connected and monitor the system during system reboots. Also, certain error messages are sent to the serial port,

regardless of the interface through which the associated action was initiated. A Macintosh or PC attachment can use any

terminal-emulation program for connecting to the terminal serial port. A workstation attachment under UNIX can use an

emulator such as TIP.
