v Additional interface equipment needed
Before installing the component, have all the additional external equipment and
cables available.
Connecting to the Console Port
The console port, labeled “Console,” is an RS-232 port with an RJ-45 interface. It is
an asynchronous (async) serial port. Any device connected to this port must be
capable of asynchronous transmission. We recommend that you use this port to
create a local management connection to set the IP address and other initial
configuration settings before connecting the switch to the network for the first
time.
CAUTION:
If you decide to connect the console port to a modem, do not connect it while
the switch is booting; connect either before powering the switch on or after the
switch completes the boot process.
v Configure the switch from the CLI.
v Monitor network statistics and errors.
v Configure SNMP agent parameters.
v Download software updates to the switch.
Note: To connect the console port to a computer terminal, the computer must
support VT100 terminal emulation. The terminal emulation software—frequently
an application such as HyperTerminal or Procomm Plus—makes communication
between the switch and computer possible during setup and configuration.
To connect the console port to a computer terminal, follow these steps:
1. Configure the terminal emulator program to match the following default port
characteristics.
v 9600 baud
v 8 data bits
v 1 stop bit
v No parity
2. Connect the supplied RJ-45 to DP-25 female adapter. We recommend that you
use the adapter and cable provided with the switch.
3.
Connect the console cable (a rollover RJ-45 to RJ-45 cable) to the console port or
the RJ-45 to DP-25 adapter (depending on your computer) at the computer
serial port.
Connecting to the MGMT 10/100/1000 Ethernet Port
The autosensing 10/100/1000 Ethernet management port is located on the front
panel (labeled MGMT ETH), below the Console port. This port is used for
out-of-band management of the IBM SAN50C-R switch. It can also be used for
upstream data transferring.
CAUTION:
To prevent an IP address conflict, do not connect the MGMT 10/100/1000
Ethernet port to the network until the initial configuration is complete.
