Cajun P880 Routing Switch Installation Guide

Terminal Settings
To complete initial switch setup, you need a PC with a serial line
connection. It must have the following terminal settings to
communicate with the switch (Table 7).
Configuring the Supervisor Module Using the CLI
To connect to the Web Agent, you must first use the serial command
line interface (CLI) to give the supervisor module an IP address and
a subnetwork mask. To configure the supervisor module using the
CLI:
1.
Attach a
serial cable
from your PC’s serial port to the serial port
of the supervisor module front panel (refer to Figure 13.) using a
9-pin straight-through male-to-female serial cable (refer to
“Switch Features,
”
earlier in this guide
for pinout information).
2.
Run a terminal emulation program (HyperTerminal, for
example) on the attached PC. Ensure that the terminal settings
match those listed in Table 7.
3.
Power up the switch by turning on the power supplies. In the
terminal emulation program, the switch displays the following
startup messages:
