SNMP-based Management
The Switch can be managed with an SNMP-compatible console program. The Switch supports SNMP
version 1.0, version 2.0 and version 3.0.
Command Line Interface
The user can also connect a computer or terminal to the serial console port to access the Switch. The
command line interface provides complete access to all Switch management features.
Connecting the Console Port
To use the console port, the following equipment is needed:
• A terminal or a computer with both an RS-232 serial port and the ability to emulate a terminal (it is
possible to use PuTTY or Tera Term etc);
• A console cable with a male DB-9 connector on one end and an RJ-45 connection on the other. This
cable should be included with the Switch.
To connect a terminal to the console port:
1. Connect the male DB-9 connector on the console cable to the RS-232 serial port on the computer.
2. Insert the RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 console port on the front of the Switch. Set the terminal
emulation software as follows:
• Serial port: COM port 1
• Baud rate: 115200
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: none
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: none
After the boot sequence completed, the CLI login screen is displayed.
NOTE: The default username and password for the CLI is admin.
First Time Connecting to the Switch
At the login screen, enter the Username and Password and press Enter after each entry to access the
CLI.
NOTE: For security reasons, it is highly recommended to configure a personal username and password
for this Switch.
