Connecting a Terminal or PC
The first thing to do after physically installing the switch is to start a terminal
or terminal emulation session to access the switch. Then you can use the
command line interface (CLI) to configure the switch. If you wish to configure
the switch using the Graphical User Interface, you must first access the CLI and
assign an IP address to at least one interface.
You can use a PC running terminal emulation software as the manager console
instead of a terminal. Many terminal emulation applications are available for
the PC, but the most readily available is the HyperTerminal application
included in Microsoft® Windows™ 95, Windows™ 98, and Windows™ 2000.
In a normal Windows™ installation HyperTerminal is located in the
Accessories group. In Windows™ 2000, HyperTerminal is located in the
Start >
Programs > Accessories > Communications menu.
The key to successfully using terminal emulation software with the switch is to
configure the communications parameters in the terminal emulation software
to match the default settings of the console port on the switch. For instructions
on how to configure HyperTerminal, see the
AT-8700XL Series Hardware
Reference .
To start a terminal session, connect to the switch in one of the following ways:
■
Connect a VT100-compatible terminal to the RS-232 Terminal Port (asyn0),
set the communications parameters on the terminal (Table 1 on page 12),
and press [Enter] a few times until the switch’s login prompt appears;
OR
■
Connect the COM port of a PC running terminal emulation software such
as Windows Terminal or HyperTerminal to the RS-232 Terminal Port
(asyn0), set the communications parameters on the terminal emulation
software (Table 1 on page 12), and press [Enter] a few times until the
switch’s login prompt appears.
Terminal Communication Parameters
Check that the terminal or modem’s communication settings match the settings
of the asynchronous port. By default, the asynchronous port (also known as the
Console, RS-232, or Config port) on the switch is set to the parameters shown
in Table 1 on page 12:
Refer to the user manual supplied with the terminal or modem for details of
how to change the communications settings for the terminal or modem.
