Setting terminal parameters
To configure and manage the switch through the console port, you must run a terminal emulator
program, HyperTerminal or PuTTY, on your configuration terminal. For more information about the
terminal emulator programs, see the user guides for these programs.
The following are the required terminal settings:
•
Bits per second —9,600.
•
Data bits —8.
•
Stop bits —1.
•
Parity —None.
•
Flow control —None.
Powering on the switch
Before powering on the switch, verify that the following conditions are met:
•
The power cord is correctly connected.
•
The input power voltage meets the requirement of the switch.
•
The console cable is correctly connected.
•
The configuration terminal (a PC, for example) has started, and its serial port settings are
consistent with the console port settings on the switch.
Power on the switch. During the startup process, you can access Boot ROM menus to perform tasks
such as software upgrade and file management. The Boot ROM interface and menu options differ
with software versions. For more information about Boot ROM menu options, see the
software-matching release notes for the device.
After the startup completes, you can access the CLI to configure the switch.
For more information about the configuration commands and CLI, see the configuration guides and
command references for the switch series.
