CONFIGURATION

Unlike the unmanaged switch, FNSW-2402S performs series smart functions that make
the switch operate more effectively. This section will describe the common usage of the
Switch Smart Configuration.

3.1 Preparing for configuration

3.1.1 Connecting a PC or Terminal to the RS-232 Port

When you are ready to configure the smart functions of the switch, make sure you had
connected the supplied RS-232 serial cable to the RS-232 port at the front panel of your
FNSW-2402S Switch and your PC.

3.1.2 Terminal Emulation Setup Program

In Windows 98/2000/XP, launch “HyperTerminal”, create a new connection, and adjust
settings as below:

• Emulation: VT-100 compatible

• Baud per second: 9600

• Data bits: 8

• Parity: None

• Stop bits: 1

• Flow Control: None

To get a demonstration, please see the Figure 3-1.
