Step 1:
Installing & Powering On the Switch
NOTE:
Important safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and
regulatory information is contained in the
Safety & Regulatory Guide
.
The installation and use of this product must be in accordance with
the information provided in that guide.
Place the switch onto a desktop or into a rack. See the
Emulex
®
Model 375 User’s Guide
or optional rack-mounting kit instructions for
information on installing the switch.
Plug in the switch using the included power cords and power
on the switch.
Step 2:
Preparing a Network Interface
Using the serial interface connector on the switch, set the IP
parameters for managing the switch over an ethernet network.
1.
Attach one end of the included RS-232 null modem cable to the
computer’s DB-9 serial port, and attach the other end to the
switch’s DB-9 serial port.
2.
Open a terminal session through your serial terminal
emulation program (such as HyperTerminal
®
) with the
appropriate serial port (for example, COM1) and the
following serial port parameters:
Bits per second: 19200
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
3.
If using HyperTerminal, press E
NTER
to receive a prompt.
4.
If using the
tip
command on a UNIX workstation do the following:
a.
View the /etc/remote file and create an alias similar to
Hardware but with the serial port parameters above.
(Suggested name: Switch)
b.
Use the
tip
command to establish a connection through the
created alias, for example
tip switch
. (For more information,
see the tip command Manual page.)
5.
Type the password at the prompt and press E
NTER
. (The
switch’s default password is
password
.)

Internet Explorer Web
browser.
3.
In the address bar, type the switch’s DNS name or IP
address and press E
NTER
.
On the left side of the screen, expand and select links for
monitoring and configuring the switch.
4.
