CHAPTER 5 RS-232 (V.24) INTERFACE

Figure 5.1 – Configuring the HyperTerminal

Connect the PC and the switch using a suitable RS-232 (V.24) cable (PRG CAB MINI DIN).

Once you have made the connection, press Ctrl + L on your keyboard. The switch then

requests the screen contents.

User Interface Functions

If you open the user interface in the first five seconds directly after a switch restart, you

have the option of triggering a firmware update. Since the actual switch firmware is not

yet started at this stage—even in the event of an error, e.g. if the firmware on the device is

faulty—this firmware can still be updated (see the Starting With Faulty Software section of

this chapter).

The following functions are available in the user interface:

˽

Setting IP parameters

˽

Selecting the addressing mechanism

˽

Resetting to default settings

˽

Activating/deactivating the Web server, Rapid Spanning Tree, SNMP interface, and the

Telnet function.

Note

The activation/deactivation of the Web server only takes effect after a SAVE and
subsequent restart.
