Setting terminal parameters

To configure and manage the switch through the console port, you must run a terminal emulator
program, such as TeraTermPro, on your configuration terminal. You can use the emulator program to
connect a network device, a Telnet site, or an SSH site. For more information about the terminal
emulator programs, see the user guides for these programs.
Configure the terminal parameters as follows:
•
Bits per second—9,600.
•
Data bits—8.
•
Parity—None.
•
Stop bits—1.
•
Flow control—None.
