Using the RS232 Port to Access the User Interface

Attach a terminal (or PC running terminal emulation software) to the RS232 port
on the rear of the chassis. The terminal should be configured for 8 bits, no parity
operation at 57.6 Kbps. Hardware and software flow control must be disabled.
Select a terminal type of VT100.
Once the terminal is connected, pressing <CR> will prompt for the password to
be entered. The switch is shipped with a default administrator password of
"admin". Once successfully logged in, the user will be presented with the main
menu.
