Connecting a Console to the Switch

After you install the switch and apply power, you can connect to it with a terminal or workstation.
You can use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to identify the IP address. If you are stacking
switches, see "Stacking" on page
To use a console you need the following items:
• VT100/ANSI terminal, or a Windows PC, Apple Macintosh PC, or UNIX workstation.
• Null-modem cable with 9-pin connectors on each end (shipped with the product).
To connect a console to the switch:
1. Connect the null-modem cable to the console port on the rear of the switch.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to a workstation or terminal.
3. If you attached a workstation, start a terminal-emulation program.
• Microsoft Windows users can use HyperTerminal if it comes with the Windows operating
systems. If not, you need to install another 3rd party terminal emulator such as Tera Term.
• Macintosh users can use ZTerm.
• UNIX users can use a terminal emulator such as TIP.
4. Configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following settings:
• Baud rate: 9,600 bps
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: none
• Stop bit: 1
