SNMP-based Management

The Switch can be managed with an SNMP-compatible console program. The Switch supports SNMP
version 1.0, version 2.0 and version 3.0.
Command Line Interface
The user can also connect a computer to the serial console port to access the Switch. The command line
interface provides complete access to all Switch management features.

Connecting the Console Port

To use the RJ-45 console port, the following equipment is needed:
• A terminal or a computer with both an RS-232 serial port and the ability to emulate a terminal (it is possible
to use Hyperterminal, Putty, Mimicom etc).
• A console cable with a male DB-9 connector on one end and an RJ-45 connection on the other. This cable
should be included with the Switch.
