Attach a VT100 compatible terminal or a PC running a terminal
emulation program to the serial port on the switch’s front panel.
Use the null-modem cable provided with this package, or use a
null modem connection that complies with the wiring assignments
shown in Appendix B of this guide.
When attaching to a PC, set terminal emulation type to VT100,
specify the port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1~4), and then set
communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and 19200 bps
(for initial configuration). Also be sure to set flow control to
“none.” (Refer to “Configuring the Serial Port” on page 2-17 for a
complete description of configuration options.)
Note: If the default settings for the switch’s serial port have been
modified and you are having difficulty making a console
connection, you can display or modify the current settings
using a Web browser as described under “Configuring the
Serial Port” on page 3-6.
