• Be sure to have configured the agent with a valid IP
address, subnet mask and default gateway.
• Check that you have a valid network connection to
the switch and that the port you are using has not
been disabled.
• Check network cabling between the management
station and the switch.
• If you cannot connect using Telnet, you may have
exceeded the maximum number of concurrent
Telnet sessions permitted. Try connecting again at a
later time.

• Be sure to have set the terminal emulator program
to VT100 compatible, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no
parity and 19200 bps.
• If the switch is configured for Auto (baud rate
detection), the terminal emulator program must be
set at 2400~19200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no
parity, and flow control set to none. Also, you must
first press the Enter key once to set the data rate and
initialize the connection.
