DGS-3710 Series Layer 2 Managed Gigabit Switch Hardware Installation Guide

Note: When using HyperTerminal with the Microsoft® Windows® 2000 operating system, ensure that

Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 or later is installed. Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 allows use of arrow

keys in HyperTerminal's VT100 emulation. See www.microsoft.com for information on Windows 2000

service packs.

•

After you have correctly set up the terminal, plug the power cable into the power receptacle on the back of the

Switch. The boot sequence appears in the terminal.

•

After the boot sequence completes, the console login screen displays.

•

If the user has not logged into the command line interface (CLI) program, press the Enter key at the User name

and password prompts. There is no default user name and password for the Switch. The administrator must

first create user names and passwords. If user accounts have been previously set up, log in and continue to

configure the Switch.

•

Enter the commands to complete desired tasks. Many commands require administrator-level access privileges.

Read the next section for more information on setting up user accounts. See the DGS-3710 Series CLI Manual

on the documentation CD for a list of all commands and additional information on using the CLI.

•

To end a management session, use the logout command or close the emulator program.

If problems occur in making this connection on a PC, make sure the emulation is set to VT-100. The emulation

settings can be configured by clicking on the File menu in the HyperTerminal window by clicking on Properties in the

drop-down menu, and then clicking the Settings tab. This is where you will find the Emulation options. If you still do not

see anything, try rebooting the Switch by disconnecting its power supply.

Once connected to the console, the screen below will appear on the console screen. This is where the user will enter

commands to perform all the available management functions. The Switch will prompt the user to enter a user name

and a password. Upon the initial connection, there is no user name or password and therefore just press enter twice to

access the command line interface.
