Making a Serial Connection
The switch is connected to a COM port of a workstation using a standard serial
cable. Through this connection, you can verify POST, view and change the
IP address of the switch, and reset the switch to factory default values.
NOTE:
The serial port is only used for initial POST verification, initial IP address
configuration, and recovery of factory (default) settings.
