Console interface

This chapter describes how to use console interface to configure the switch. The
switch provides RS232 and USB connectors to connect your PC. Use a terminal
emulator on your PC such as HyperTerminal and command line interpreter to
configure the switch. You have to set up the terminal emulator with baud rate
9600, 8 bit data, no parity, and 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
Once you enter CLI mode, type "?" will display all available command help
messages. This is very useful when you are not familiar with the CLI commands.
All the CLI commands are case sensitive.

5.1 Power On Self Test

POST is executing during the system booting time. It tests system memory, LED
and hardware chips on the switchboard. It displays system information as the
result of system test and initialization. You can ignore the information until the
prompt, "ASUS login:" appears.

5.1.1 Boot ROM command mode

During the POST process, you can enter a "Boot ROM Command" mode by
pressing <ENTER> key. Enter the "?" key to show the help messages for all
available commands.
Although the commands are helpful in some situation, we
STRONGLY suggest users not to use them if you donʼt know the
command function.
