2.1. Preparation for Serial Console
Inside the product package, you can find an RS-232 console cable. Before managing your
switch via out-of-
band management, please attach this cable’s RJ45 connector to your
switch’s console port and its RS-232 female connector to your PC’s COM port.
To access this switch’s out-of-band management CLI (Command Line Interface), your PC
must have terminal emulator software such as HyperTerminal or PuTTY installed. Some
operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows XP) have HyperTerminal already installed. If
your PC does not have any terminal emulator software installed, please download and install
a terminal emulator software on your PC.
The following section will use HyperTerminal as an example.
1.
Run HyperTerminal on your PC.
2.
Give a name to the new console connection.
3.
Choose the COM port that is connected to the switch.
