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 Managed Switch's console port.

terminal-emulation program (such as HyperTerminal) to the Managed Switch console (serial) port. When using this
management method, a straight RS-232 to RJ45 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
