Configuring the switch
To configure the 3534 Model F08, replace the factory IP address and related
information with the IP information that is provided by your network administrator.
Perform the following steps:
1. Remove the shipping plug from the serial port. Insert the serial cable that is
provided with the 3534 Model F08.
2. Connect the other end of the serial cable to an RS-232 serial port on the
workstation. If no RS-232 serial port is available on the workstation, you can
remove the adapter that is on the end of the serial cable. This enables you to
use the RJ-45 connector to create a serial connection.
3. Verify that the switch is on and that a POST has completed.
4. Disable any serial communication programs that are running on the
workstation.

TERM in a UNIX
®
environment. Configure the switch. For a Windows
®
95, 98,
2000, or NT environment, use the configuration parameters shown in Table 4.
