INITIAL SWITCH CONFIGURATION
4.1
Configuring the Terminal
Run terminal emulation application on PC (HyperTerminal, TeraTerm, Minicom) and perform the
following actions:
1.
Select the corresponding serial port.
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 on the device
Establish connection between the switch console ('console' port) and the serial interface port on PC,
where terminal emulation application is installed.
Turn the device on. Upon every startup, the switch performs power-on self-test (POST), that allows
to check operational capability of the device before execution program is loaded into RAM.
