Configuring for Out-of-Band Connectivity

To monitor and configure the switch using out-of-band connectivity, use the console port to
connect the switch to a terminal desktop system running terminal emulation software. The
console port connector is a female DB-9 connector, implemented as a data terminal equipment
(DTE) connector.

The following hardware is required to use the console port:

•

VT100-compatible terminal, or a desktop, or a portable system with a serial port running
VT100 terminal emulation software.

•

An RS-232 cable with a male DB-9 connector for the console port and the appropriate
connector for the terminal.

Perform the following tasks to connect a terminal to the switch console port using out-of-band
connectivity:

1. Connect the RS-232 cable to the terminal running VT100 terminal emulation software.

2. Configure the terminal emulation software as follows:

A. Select the appropriate serial port (serial port 1 or serial port 2) to connect to the con-

sole.

B. Set the data rate to 115,200 baud.

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

D. Set the flow control to none.

E. Select the proper mode under

Properties

Select Terminal keys.

NOTE:

When using HyperTerminal with Microsoft Windows 2000, make sure that
you have Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 or later installed. With Windows
2000 Service Pack 2, the arrow keys function properly in HyperTerminal's
VT100 emulation. Go to

www.microsoft.com

for more information on Win-

dows 2000 service packs.

3. Connect the RS-232 cable directly to the switch console port, and tighten the captive

retaining screws.
