Appendix B Installation In a Hazardous Environment
Verifying Switch Operation
Connecting a PC or a Terminal to the Console Port
To connect a PC to the console port, use the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable. To connect a terminal
to the console port, you need to provide an RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter. You can order a kit
(part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) with that adapter from Cisco. For console-port and adapter-pinout
information, see the
“Cable and Adapter Specifications” section on page C-5
The PC or terminal must support VT100 terminal emulation. The terminal-emulation
software—frequently a PC application such as HyperTerminal or Procomm Plus—makes
communication between the switch and your PC or terminal possible during the POST.
Warning
If you connect or disconnect the console cable with power applied to the switch or any device on the
network, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location
installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
To verify switch operation, perform POST on the switch in a nonhazardous location before
installation. Statement 1065
Follow these steps to connect the PC or terminal to the switch:
Step 1
Make sure that your terminal-emulation software is configured to communicate with the switch using
hardware flow control.
Step 2
Configure the baud rate and data format of the PC or terminal to match these console-port default
characteristics:
•
9600 baud
•
Eight data bits
•
One stop bit
•
No parity
After you get access to the switch, you can change the port baud rate. See the switch software
configuration guide for instructions.
Step 3
Insert the adapter cable in the console port. See
. (See the
“Cable and Adapter Specifications”
for pinout descriptions.)
