2. Getting Started
In this chapter we explain how to install a Weidmüller switch for the first time. There are three ways to
access the Weidmüller switch’s configuration settings: serial console, Telnet console, or web console.
If you do not know the Weidmüller switch’s IP address, you can open the serial console by
connecting the Weidmüller switch to a PC’s COM port with a short serial cable. You can open the
Telnet or web console over an Ethernet LAN or over the Internet.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:
 RS-232 Console Configuration (115200, None, 8, 1, VT100)
 Configuration by Telnet Console
 Configuration by Web Browser
 Disabling Telnet and Web Browser Access
