Terminal Settings

To complete initial switch setup, you need a PC with a serial line
connection. It must have the following terminal settings to
communicate with the switch (Table 7).

Configuring the Supervisor Module Using the CLI

To connect to the Web Agent, you must first use the serial command
line interface (CLI) to give the supervisor module an IP address and
a subnetwork mask. To configure the supervisor module using the
CLI:

1. Attach a serial cable from your PC’s serial port to the serial port

of the supervisor module front panel (refer to Figure 13.) using a
9-pin straight-through male-to-female serial cable (refer to
“Switch Features,earlier in this guide for pinout information).

2. Run a terminal emulation program (HyperTerminal, for

example) on the attached PC. Ensure that the terminal settings
match those listed in Table 7.

3. Power up the switch by turning on the power supplies. In the

terminal emulation program, the switch displays the following
startup messages:

Booting the operational system, please wait ....
