10/100 Ethernet
Device
If a command prompt does not appear when attempting to initiate a
serial management connection, do the following:
1 Verify that the WX switch is powered on.
2 Verify that the serial cable is fully inserted in the PC and WX switch ports.
3 Verify that the correct modem settings are configured in the terminal
emulation application:
9600 bps
8 bits
1 stop
No parity
Hardware flow control disabled
4 Verify that you opened the connection on the PC port connected to the
WX 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.
Use the following procedures to connect a WX switch to MAP access
points or other 10/100 Ethernet devices and to gigabit Ethernet devices.
The 10/100 Ethernet ports are configured as wired network ports by
default. You must change the port type for locally connected MAP access
points, and for wired end stations that use AAA through the WX switch
to access the network.
