arrow keys not functioning in HyperTerminal’s VT100
emulation. See www.microsoft.com for information on
Windows 2000 service packs.

Remote Connections
Prior to accessing the switch’s onboard agent via a network connection,
you must first configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway using a console connection, DHCP or BOOTP protocol.
The IP address is assigned via DHCP by default. To manually configure
this address, see “Setting an IP Address” on page 1-7.
Note: The switch supports four concurrent Telnet sessions.
After configuring the switch’s IP parameters, you can access the onboard
configuration program from anywhere within the attached network.
