To connect a console to the
switch, follow these steps:
1. Connect the PC or
terminal to the switch's
Console Port using the
console cable included
with the Switch. (If your
PC or terminal has a 25-pin
serial connector, first
attach a 9-pin to 25-pin
straight-through adapter
at one end of the console
cable.)
2. Turn on the terminal or
PC's power and, if using a
PC, start the PC terminal
program.
3. Press two or three

continue". Press a key, and you will then see the switch console command
(CLI) prompt, for example:
