Instruction Manual - NXA-ENET8-POE+
The following table describes the pin assignments used in the console cable:
The serial port's default settings are as follows:
Default Baud rate: 115200 bps
Character Size: 8 Characters
Parity: None
Stop bit: One
Data bits: 8
Flow control: None
Follow these steps to connect to the Console port:
1.
Connect one end of the included RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable to a DB-9 COM port connector on a management PC.
2.
Plug in the RJ-45 end of the serial cable to the Console port on the switch.
3.
Configure the PC's COM port required settings using VT-100 terminal emulator software (such as HyperTerminal) running on
the management PC. The switch's default console port settings are:
115200 bps, 8 data bits, 1-stop bit and no parity
4.
Log in to the command-line interface (CLI) using one of the default user login settings:
User - admin,
Password - admin
or
User - guest
Password - guest
The switch also offers a user-friendly web-based management interface for the configuration of all the unit's features.
You can make initial configuration changes by connecting a PC directly to one of the switch's RJ-45 ports. The switch has a default
management IP address of 192.168.2.10 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. You must set your PC IP address to be on the same
subnet as the switch (that is, the PC and switch addresses must both start 192.168.2.x).
Log in to the web interface using the default settings:
Login Name - admin
Password - admin
Note that the guest default user login will only allow a user to view switch parameter data. For a detailed description of connecting
to the console and using the switch's command line interface (CLI), refer to the
CLI Reference Guide
