How to Configure the Switch

Some configuration is necessary to enable the switch's advanced switching
capabilities. This is achieved via the Command Line Interface (CLI) or Graphical
User Interface (GUI).

terminal or PC to the RS-232 Terminal Port on the switch's front panel.
2. Set the communication parameters
Set the communication parameters on your terminal or terminal emulation
program to:

At the login prompt, enter the login name and password:
The switch's command prompt appears. Now use the CLI to configure the
switch.
4. Change password and display help

with the default password is a serious security risk. Remember the new
password as there is no way to retrieve it if it is lost.
