4 Open a connection on a serial port.
If the WX switch is already powered on, press Enter three times to
display one of the following command prompts:
WX1200>
WX4400>
Go to step 4 in "Accessing the CLI" on page 35.
If a command prompt does not appear, go to "Troubleshooting a
Serial Management Connection".
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.
