2 Open your terminal emulation software and configure the COM port
settings to which you have connected the cable. The settings should be
set to match the default settings for the Switch, which are:
Any of the following baud rates: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200,
■
38400, 57600, 115200
8 data bits
■
no parity
■
1 stop bit
■
no hardware flow control
■
Refer to the documentation that accompanies the terminal emulation
software for more information.
Set the baud rate on your management device to 19200 baud if you
want to view all the system initialization messages.
Viewing IP Information via the Console Port
You are now ready to view the automatically allocated IP information
using the command line interface.
1 Connect your Switch to the network using an Ethernet cable. As soon as
a network connection is made the Switch begins the automatic IP
configuration process.
The automatic IP configuration process usually completes within one
minute.
2 The command line interface login sequence begins as soon as the Switch
detects a connection to its console port.
If the login prompt does not begin immediately, press Return a few times
until it starts.
3 At the login and password prompts, enter admin as your user name and
enter your password at the password prompt (or just press Return if you
have not yet set a password). If you have logged on correctly, the
top-level menu of the command line interface is displayed as shown in
the example in Figure 11.
