Setting Up a Configuration Console in Normal (ASCII) Mode
The following procedure sets up the configuration console in Normal mode and logs you on as the
system administrator with full access to all ATM Workgroup Switch commands:
1
Connect an ASCII-type terminal to the RS-232 console port on the front panel of the
workgroup switch.
2
In the terminal’s user guide, locate the procedure for setting parameters for baud rate, data
bits, parity, and stop bits.
3
If necessary, change these settings to the values used by the workgroup switch so that the
console and the workgroup switch can communicate. The factory-set default settings for the
ATM Workgroup Switch are as follows:
Parameter Workgroup Switch Default Value
Baud rate 9600
Data bits 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
