When you connect the switch to the network for the first time after setting up the BootP or DHCP server, it
is configured with the information supplied above. The switch is ready for in-band connectivity over the
network.
If you do not use BootP or DHCP, access the switch through the EIA-232 port, and configure the network
information as described below.
Using the EIA-232 Port
You can use a locally or remotely attached terminal to configure in-band management through the EIA-232
port.
1. To use a locally attached terminal, attach one end of a null-modem serial cable to the EIA-232 port of
the switch and the other end to the COM port of the terminal or workstation.
For remote attachment, attach one end of the serial cable to the EIA-232 port of the switch and the other
end to the modem.
2. Set up the terminal for VT100 terminal emulation.
a. Set the terminal ON.
b. Launch the VT100 application.
3. Configure the COM port as follows:
a. Set the data rate to 9600 baud.
b. Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
c. Set the flow control to none.
d. Select the proper mode under Properties.
e. Select Terminal keys.
The Log-in User prompt displays when the terminal interface initializes.
