Command Line Console Management
The switch provides a command line console interface for configuration purposes. The
switch can be configured either locally through its RS-232 port or remotely via a Telnet
session. For the later, you must specify an IP address for the switch first.
This chapter describes how to configure the switch using its console by Commend Line.
Administration Console
Connect the DB9 straight cable to the RS-232 serial port of the device to the RS-232 serial
port of the terminal or computer running the terminal emulation application.
Direct access to the administration console is achieved by directly connecting a terminal
or a PC equipped with a terminal-emulation program (such as HyperTerminal) to the
switch console port.
When using the management method, configure the terminal-emulation program to use
the following parameters (you can change these settings after login):
[Default parameters]
115,200bps
8 data bits
No parity
1 stop bit
