TABLE 2

The setup computer COM port is busy.
The switch does not respond to commands
during a serial connection.
The switch does not power up.
The switch's serial adapter does not work.

Configuring the switch

The EZSwitchSetup Switch Configuration wizard helps you set up or change current switch
parameters and configure the zoning for your switch. Unlike the EZSwitchSetup wizard, which
stepped you through setting up the hardware, the configuration wizard steps you through the final
process of changing your administrative password and zoning.

Configuring the switch

Correction
The port is being controlled by another communications program.
Stop all other third-party communications programs.
The port settings are in conflict with another device. Check your
IRQ settings.
On Windows systems:
By default, COM1 and COM3 use IRQ4, while COM2 and COM4
use IRQ3. If another device is sharing the IRQ of the port, you
need to change the IRQ of the conflicting device. Hardware
conflicts can also occur with the I/O address of the COM port. The
8514a video chip or its clones (S3 chip set) on some video cards
create a conflict with COM4 because they use the same address
of 02E8.
The serial cable may not be connected properly between the
setup computer and the switch. Check the serial cable to ensure
they are secured.
Verify that the switch's power cable is securely plugged into a
proper outlet and that the switch's power button is turned on.
Verify that the cable is good by replacing the cable or trying it on
another known good working device.
If the cable is good, then call your support provider for further
instructions.
