DEVICE STARTUP, INITIAL CONFIGURATION
The switch is equipped with the console port, that allows to use device diagnostics, management
and monitoring. This section describes the device console port functionality and the procedure of initial
configuration.
4.1
Configuring the Terminal
To establish connection with the switch via the console port, run the terminal emulation application
on PC (HyperTerminal, TeraTerm, Minicom) and perform the following actions
1.
Select the corresponding serial port of the PC.
2.
Set the data transfer rate—115,200 baud.
3.
Specify the data format: 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, non-parity.
4.
Disable hardware and software data flow control.
5.
Specify VT100 terminal emulation mode (many terminal applications use this emulation
mode by default).
4.2
Turning off the device
Prepare the equipment for operation according to requirements described in Section 3.
Establish connection between the switch console ('console' port) and the serial interface port on PC,
where terminal emulation application is installed.
Turn the switch on. Upon every startup, the switch performs power-on self-test (POST), that allows
to check operational capability of the device before main program is loaded.
POST procedure progress on switch:
