Connecting A Mini Usb Console Cable; Setting Terminal Parameters; Starting The Switch - H3C S6825 Series Installation Manual

7. Connect the RJ-45 connector of the cable to the console port of the switch.

Connecting a mini USB console cable

A USB mini console cable has a USB mini-Type B connector at one end to connect to the Mini USB
console port of the switch, and a standard USB Type A connector at the other end to connect to the
USB port on the configuration terminal.
To connect the switch to a configuration terminal by using a USB mini console cable:
1. Connect the standard USB Type A connector to the USB port on the configuration terminal.
2. Click http://www.h3c.com/en/home/USB_Console/, or copy it to the address bar on the browser
to log in to download page of the USB console driver, and download the driver.
3. Run Installer to preinstall the driver. After the preinstallation finishes, the system pops up a
dialog box to indicate a successful preinstallation.
4. Connect the USB mini-Type B connector to the Mini USB console port on the switch. The
system installs the driver automatically.

Setting terminal parameters

To configure and manage the switch through the serial console port or mini USB console port, you
must run a terminal emulator program, TeraTermPro or PuTTY, on your configuration terminal. You
can use the emulator program to connect a network device, a Telnet site, or an SSH site. For more
information about the terminal emulator programs, see the user guides for these programs
Configure the terminal parameters as follows:
•
Bits per second—9600.
•
Data bits—8.
•
Stop bits—1.
•
Parity—None.
•
Flow control—None.
