Optional Step 9: Connect a console to the
switch
This procedure is optional. You can configure and manage the switch through the main
local browser interface or the audio-video user interface. If you want to use the
command-line interface (CLI), you can use a Telnet or secure shell (SSH) connection, or
you can connect a console to the switch. To be able to use a console, you need the
following items:
• A computer with a Windows, Mac, or Linux operating system, a UNIX workstation,
or a VT100/ANSI terminal.
• Depending on the connector type at your computer or terminal, use one of the
following cables, both of which are included in the product package:
-
USB Type C cable for use with the USB Type-C console port
- Ethernet cable for use with the RJ-45 RS-232 console port
To connect a console to the switch:
1. Connect either the USB Type C cable or the RJ-45 RS-232 cable to the appropriate
port on the switch.
The USB Type-C port and RJ-45 RS232 console port are located on the back panel.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to your computer, workstation, or terminal.
• On a Windows-based computer, you can use HyperTerminal or install another
terminal emulator such as Tera Term.
• On Mac operating system, you can use ZTerm.
• On a UNIX workstation, you can use a terminal emulator such as Minicom.
3. If you attach a computer or workstation, start a terminal emulation program.
