AND

 6H133-37 Mode Switch 

Location/Component Layout

Switch definitions and positions are as follows:

Switches 1 through 4 – For Cabletron Systems use only.

Switch 5 – COM Port Autobaud. The default (OFF) position enables 
Autobaud sensing on the COM port for Local Management sessions. 
Changing the switch to the ON position disables Autobaud sensing and 
sets the COM port to 9600 baud for Local Management sessions.

Switch 6 – Forced BootP. Changing the position of this switch (i.e., 
moving the switch from one position to the other) clears download 
information from NVRAM and forces the 6H123-50 and 6H133-37 to 
download a new image file from a BootP server after power to the 
chassis is restored or the reset button is pressed.

NOTE

After changing the position of switch 6, DO NOT reapply power 
to the chassis or reset the module until there is a station acting 
as a BootP server, which contains the image file.
