HP ProCurve 9315M Quick Start Manual page 33

HP provides a cable-grounding kit for use with HP 9304M/HP 9308M/HP 9315M chassis modules designed for
UTP copper networking cable connections. Use this grounding kit to help prevent ESD damage to your Routing
Switch components when connecting cables to the modules.
CAUTION: Before connecting Category 5 or better UTP copper networking cables to a chassis module on the HP
9304M, HP 9308M, or HP 9315M, use the CESD grounding tap (shipped with the HP 9304M/HP 9308M/HP
9315M and with chassis modules designed for UTP copper networking cables). See the Cable Grounding
Instructions included with the CESD grounding tap. If you did not receive a CESD grounding tap kit (HP part
number 5064-9974) with the above HP products, you can request one without charge from your HP Customer
Care Center (CCC). To contact the CCC for your area, see the support and warranty booklet (Support is as Close
as the World Wide Web!) shipped with your HP product. CCCs are also listed in the HP ProCurve Networking
Service and Support Guide available at http://www.hp.com/go/hpprocurve. (Click on Technical Support, then
Support Services.)
1. Directly connect the LAN port on a Telnet-capable terminal device such as a laptop or desktop PC to port 1 in
slot 1.
2. Configure the terminal device with an IP address and subnet mask that assigns the terminal to the same
subnet as the Routing Switch's IP address for port 1, slot 1.
3. From the DOS prompt, enter telnet <ip-addr> to access the Routing Switch CLI, where <ip-addr> is the IP
address for the Routing Switch port.
When you establish the serial connection to the device, press Enter to display the CLI prompt for your Routing
Switch. For example:
HP9304>
HP9308>
HP9315>
NOTE: For simplicity, CLI examples for the Routing Switches generally show the command prompt "HP9300".
This command prompt represents either the HP 9304M, HP 9308M, or HP 9315M unless otherwise noted.
If you see one of these prompts, you are now connected to the system and can proceed to "Assigning a
Permanent Password" on page 2-14.
You can customize the prompt by changing the system name. See "Entering System Administration Information"
on page 4-3.
If you do not see one of these prompts:
1. Make sure the cable is securely connected to your PC and to the HP device.
2. Check the settings in your terminal emulation program. In addition to the session settings listed above, make
sure the terminal emulation session is running on the same serial port you attached to the HP device.
The EIA/TIA 232 serial communication port serves as a connection point for management by a PC or SNMP
workstation. HP Routing Switches come with a standard male DB-9 connector, shown in
Figure 2.6.
