Step 2
Start the terminal emulation session so that you can see the output display from the power-on self-test

ProcommPlus—makes communication between the switch and your PC or terminal possible.
Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match these console port default
characteristics:
•
9600 baud
•
8 data bits
•
1 stop bit
•
No parity
•
None (flow control)

“Waiting for POST to Complete” section on page 2-10
to finish configuring the switch.
