Figure 1: Console Management Diagram
A terminal program is required to make the software connection to the Managed Switch . Windows' Hyper Terminal program
may be a good choice. The Hyper Terminal can be accessed from the Start menu.
1. Click START, then Programs, Accessories and then Hyper Terminal.
2. When the following screen appears, make sure that the COM port should be configured as:
 57600 bps
 8 data bits
 No parity
 1 stop bit

You can change these settings, if desired, after you log on. This management method is often preferred because you can
remain connected and monitor the system during system reboots. Also, certain error messages are sent to the serial port,
regardless of the interface through which the associated action was initiated. A Macintosh or PC attachment can use any
terminal-emulation program for connecting to the terminal serial port. A workstation attachment under UNIX can use an
emulator such as TIP.
