Configuring the switch module through the serial-port interface
The serial port provides basic communication RS-232 serial-data transfer through a
terminal emulation program (such as Hyperterminal). Because messages from the
power-on self-test (POST) and all initialization information are transmitted through
the serial port, you can use the serial port to log in to the switch module and
access and configure the internal switching software.
To log in to the switch module, complete the following steps:
1. Connect one end of the specifically designed serial cable that comes with your
device into the RS-232 port and connect the other end to the management
station.
For additional information, see “Connecting the serial console cable” on page
19.
2. On the management station, open a console window and make sure that the
serial port is configured with the following settings:
v
9600 baud
v
8 data bits
v
No parity
v 1 stop bit
v
No flow control
3. Type the user name and password. The default user name is admin . The default
password is admin .
The serial port is compatible with the standard 16550 Universal Asynchronous
Receiver/Transmitter (UART) protocol. The RS-232 serial port is enabled by
default.
