Local Console Management
Local Console Management is always done through the RS-232 serial port and requires a
direct connection between the DES-5024 and a PC. This type of management is very
useful when the network is down and the DES-5024 cannot be reached by any other
means.
Use Local Console Management to log into the DES-5024 for the first time. You do not
need to know the IP address to log into the DES-5024 using Local Console Management.
You can change all the settings and configure the DES-5024, set the IP address and
perform other management functions. The management session will timeout after five
minutes if you have not taken any action. Press enter a few times to refresh the screen.
You will have to log in again after a timeout.
Follow these steps to begin a management session using Local Console Management:
1. Attach the male end of the RS-232 serial cable provided with the DES-5024 to the
RS-232 port located at the front of the DES-5024.
2. Attach the other end to the serial port of a PC or workstation.
3. Run a terminal emulation program using the following settings:
Emulation: VT-100/ANSI compatible
BPS: 19 200
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow Control: None
Enable: Terminal keys
4. Press Enter to display the login panel.
5. Log in using the default User Name and Password. The User Name and Password are
case sensitive.
User Name: D-Link
Default Password: D-Link
5. Press Enter to reach the Main menu.
