Initial configuration with an out-of-band serial connection
Terminal configuration
To connect a console to the switch, configure the PC terminal emulator as a DEC VT-100 (ANSI) terminal or use a
VT-100 terminal, and configure either one to operate with these settings:
• A baud rate of 115200.
• 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and flow control set to off.
• For the Windows Terminal program, also disable (uncheck) the “Use Function, Arrow, and Ctrl Keys for
Windows” option.
• For the Hilgraeve HyperTerminal program, select the “Terminal keys” option for the “Function, arrow, and ctrl
keys act as” parameter.
If you want to operate the console using a different configuration, make sure you change the settings on both the
terminal and on the switch so they are compatible. Change the switch settings first, then change the terminal
settings, then reboot the switch and reestablish the console session.
Connect to console port
To connect a console to the switch, follow these steps:
1. Connect the PC or terminal to the switch’s Console Port using a console cable (JL448A; sold separately).

press [Enter] . (By default, no password is defined.)
You are placed into the manager command context, which is identified by the prompt:

login as: admin
