Connect your PC to the switch Supervisor Module
■
Assign the Supervisor Module an IP address and a
subnetwork mask

Assigning the Supervisor Module an IP Address and
Subnetwork Mask
To assign the supervisor module an IP address and subnetwork
mask:
1.
Attach a serial cable from your PC’s serial port to the
supervisor module’s serial port on the front panel
(Figure 3-1). The serial cable must be a 9-pin straight-
through male-to-female serial cable (refer to “Switch

earlier in this guide for pinout information).
2.
Run a terminal emulation program (HyperTerminal, for example)
on your PC. Ensure that the terminal settings match those listed
in Table 3-1
3.
Power up the switch. The switch displays startup messages in
the terminal emulation program similar to the following:
