Console Port (Out-of-Band) Connections

Attach a VT100 compatible terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation
program to the serial port on the switch’s rear 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 comp
lete description of configuration
options.)

Note: If the default settings for the management agent’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 “Console Configuration” on page
3-5.
