corresponding emulation between the switch and a PC (e.g., HyperTerminal under
Windows) and enables access to the user interface.

Calling the user interface
Connect the PC and the switch using a suitable cable (PRG CAB MINI DIN, Order No.

the PC. The switch then requests the screen contents.
The reference potentials of the RS-232 interface and the supply voltage are not
electrically isolated.
