Establishing an Ethernet connection

For port pinout information for the mini-USB serial console port, refer to
page 64.
2. Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation such as synchronization programs.
3. Open a terminal emulator application such as HyperTerminal on a Windows PC, or TERM, TIP, or Kermit in a UNIX
environment, and configure the application as follows:
•
In a Windows environment
•
Baud: 9600 bps
•
Data bits: 8
•
Parity: None
•
Stop bits: 1
•
Flow control: None
•
In a UNIX environment using TIP, enter the following string at the prompt:
tip /dev/ttyb -9600
If ttyb is already in use, use ttya instead and enter the following string at the prompt:
tip /dev/ttya -9600
Establishing an Ethernet connection
The Gigabit Ethernet management port (RJ-45) on the SLX 9140 switch front panel provides an out-of-band network connection to the
device.
To manage the SLX 9140 switch through its management port, connect the port to the Ethernet network using Category 5 or better
cable. Management of the SLX 9140 switch is described in detail in the Extreme SLX-OS Management Configuration Guide for the SLX
9140 and 9240 switches.
