4. Observe the power supply LED for each connected power supply to verify that the LED is
steadily glowing green. This indicates normal power supply operation.
Connecting to a Serial Management Console
Initial configuration of the DWS-1008 switch requires a connection to the switch's CLI through
the serial console port.
To connect a PC to the serial console port:
1. Insert the serial cable into the PC port.
2. Insert the other end of the cable into the serial console port on the switch.
3. Start a standard VT100 terminal emulation application on the PC, and configure the
following modem settings:
4. Open a connection on a serial port. If the switch is already powered on, press Enter three
times to display a command prompt. Refer to the "Accessing the CLI" for more
information.
Troubleshooting Serial Management
Connection
1. Verify that the switch is powered on.
2. Verify that the serial cable is fully inserted in the PC and switch's console ports.
3. Verify that the correct modem settings are configured in the terminal emulation application
as shown in step 3 above.
4. Verify that you opened the connection on the PC port connected to the switch. For example,
if you inserted the cable in PC port COM1, make sure you open the connection on COM1
instead of COM2 or another port. If none of the previous steps results in a management
connection, use another serial cable.
