This section describes using the Command Line Interface (CLI) to manage
the device. The device is managed through the CLI from a direct
connection to the device console port

Getting Started
with the Command
Line Interface

Using the CLI, network managers enter configuration commands and
parameters to configure the device. Using the CLI is very similar to
entering commands on a UNIX system.

Console Port

To start using the CLI via a console port:

1 Connect the RJ-45 cable to the Console port of the switch to the serial

port of the terminal or computer running the terminal emulation
application.

2 Set the baud rate to 38400.

3 Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.

4 Set Flow Control to none.

5 Under Properties, select VT100 for Emulation mode.

6 Select Terminal keys for Function, Arrow, and Ctrl keys. Ensure that

the setting is for Terminal keys (not Windows keys).

name for first time configuration is admin. No password is required. User
names and passwords are case sensitive.
