3.3 Administration Console
The administration console is an internal, character-oriented, and command line user interface for
performing system administration such as displaying statistics or changing option settings. Using this
method, you can view the administration console from a terminal, personal computer, Apple
Macintosh, or workstation connected to the switch's console (serial) port.
There are two ways to use this management method: via direct access or modem port access. The
following sections describe these methods. For more information about using the console, refer to
Chapter 5 Command Line Interface Console Management.

Direct Access
Direct access to the administration console is achieved by directly connecting a terminal or a PC
equipped with a terminal-emulation program (such as HyperTerminal) to the Managed Switch
console (serial) port.
When using this management method, a straight DB9 RS-232 cable is required to connect the
switch to the PC. After making this connection, configure the terminal-emulation program to use
the following parameters:
The default parameters are:
 115200 bps
 8 data bits
 No parity
 1 stop bit
