is managed.
NOTE
We recommend using Hyper Terminal Tool, which is already installed under Windows XP.
Before running Hyper Terminal Tool use an RJ45 to DB9-F (or RJ45 to DB25-F) cable to connect
the Ethernet Switch’s RS-232 Console port to your PC’s COM port (generally COM1 or COM2,
depending on how your system is set up).
After installing Hyper Terminal Tool, do the following to access the RS-232 Console utility.
