Connecting to a Power Source
Before you begin
The terminal-emulation software—frequently a PC application such as Hyperterminal or ProcommPlus—makes
communication between the switch and your PC or terminal possible.
Procedure
Step 1
Start the terminal-emulation program if you are using a PC or terminal.
Step 2
Start a terminal-emulation session.
Step 3
Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match these console port default
characteristics:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• No flow control
• 1 stop bit
• No parity
What to do next
Connect to a power source.
Connecting to a Power Source
To connect to a power source, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1
Connect one end of the supplied country-specific AC power cord to the power connector on the switch.
Step 2
Plug the other end into a grounded 100 to 240 VAC, 50–60 Hz AC outlet.
The switch powers on.
If you started the terminal-emulation program before you powered on your switch, the PC or terminal displays
the bootloader sequence. You need to press Enter to display the setup program prompt.
What to do next
Obtain IP settings from your network administrator.
