2. Terminal Setup
To configure the system, connect a serial cable to a COM port on a PC or notebook
computer and to serial (console) port of the Switch. The console port of the Switch
is DCE already, so that you can connect the console port directly through PC
without the need of Null Modem.
A terminal program is required to make the software connection to the Switch.
Windows’
Hyper Terminal
program may be a good choice. It can be accessed
from the Start menu. Click START, then Programs, Accessories and then Hyper
Terminal.
MS-DOS based terminal program such as PC-PLUS, PROCOMM, can also make the
connection with the Switch. The COM port should be configured as:
□ Baud : 9600
□ Parity : None
□ Data bits : 8
□ Stop bits : 1
□ Flow Control : None
