Chapter 1: Overview
Console Port
40
You use the Console port to configure the features and parameter settings
of the switch with the command line interface in the AlliedWare Plus
management software. This management is called local management
because it is not conducted over your network. You have to be at the
physical location of the switch. The Console port has these settings:
Default baud rate: 9600 bps (Range is 9600 to 115200 bps)
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
Note
These settings are for a DEC VT100 or ANSI terminal, or an
equivalent terminal emulation program.
Local management sessions require a management cable for connecting
your computer or terminal to the Console port. Here are the cable
guidelines:
If your computer has an RS-232 port, you may use the
management cable supplied with the switch. Refer to Figure 25 on
page 72. The cable has RJ-45 and DB-9 connectors.
If your computer has a USB port, you may need to purchase a
USB-to-Serial converter that is compatible with its operating
system. An example is the VT-Kit3 from Allied Telesis.
The Console port pinouts are provided in "RJ-45 Style Serial Console Port
Pinouts" on page 174. For further information, refer to "Starting a Local
Management Session" on page 112.
