2.4 CONFIGURING THE SWITCH
Initial configuration of your SmartCell 6A000 switch consists of setting the name, Ethernet IP address, and subnet

Determine whether you will use a dumb terminal, workstation, or PC running terminal emulation
software to perform initial switch configuration.
Configure dumb terminals or PCs running emulation software with the following communication
parameters:
Baud rate = 9600
