5.2.2 Required Connections
The ECN330-switch provides an RS-232 serial port that enables a connection
to a PC or terminal for monitoring and configuring the switch.
Attach a VT100-compatible terminal, or a PC running a terminal emulation
program to the ECN330-switch. Use a null-modem cable that complies with the
wiring assignments shown in section 2.2.4 on page 9.
To connect a terminal to the console port, complete the following steps:
1. Connect the console cable to the serial port on a terminal, or a PC running
terminal emulation software, and tighten the captive retaining screws on the
DB-9 connector.
2. Connect the other end of the cable’s to the RS-232 serial port on the
ECN330-switch.
3. Make sure the terminal emulation software is set as follows:
• Select the appropriate serial port (COM port 1 or COM port 2).
• Set the baud rate to 9600.
• Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
• Set flow control to none.
• Set the emulation mode to VT100.
• When using HyperTerminal, select Terminal keys, not Windows keys.
Note: When using HyperTerminal with Microsoft Windows 2000, make sure
that Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 or later is installed. Windows 2000 Service
Pack 2 fixes the problem of arrow keys not functioning in HyperTerminal’s VT100
emulation.
Note:
Please refer to section on page 569 for a complete description of
console configuration options.
Note:
Once the terminal is set up correctly, the console login screen is
displayed.
