Console Management

Connecting to the Switch

The console port is a female DB-9 connector that enables a connection to a PC or

terminal for monitoring and configuring the Switch. Use the supplied RS-232 cable with a

male DB-9 connector to connect a terminal or PC to the Console port. The Console

configuration (out of band) allows you to set switch for remote terminal as if the console

terminal were directly connected to it.

Login in the Console Interface

When the connection between Switch and PC is ready, turn on the PC and run a terminal

emulation program or Hyper Terminal and configure its communication parameters to

match the following default characteristics of the console port:

Baud Rate: 9600 bps

Data Bits: 8

Parity: none

Stop Bit: 1

Flow control: None
