Summit24e3 Switch Installation and User Guide 27
Free-Standing
The Summit24e3 switch is supplied with four self-adhesive rubber pads. Apply the pads to the
underside of the device by sticking a pad in the marked area at each corner of the switch.
Stacking the Switch and Other Devices
You can place up to four Summit switches on top of one another.
NOTE
This relates only to physically placing the devices on top of one another.
Apply the pads to the underside of the device by sticking a pad at each corner of the switch. Place the
devices on top of one another, ensuring that the corners align.
Connecting Equipment to the Console Port
Connection to the console port is used for direct local management. The switch console port settings are
set as follows:
• Baud rate — 9600
• Data bits — 8
• Stop bit
— 1
• Parity — None
• Flow control
— None
NOTE
If you set the switch console port flow control to XON/XOFF rather than None, you will be unable to
access the switch. Do not set the switch console port flow control to XON/XOFF.
The terminal connected to the console port on the switch must be configured with the same settings.
This procedure is described in the documentation supplied with the terminal.
Appropriate cables are available from your local supplier. To make your own cables, pinouts for a DB-9
male console connector are described in Table 6.
