Start a terminal application such as HyperTerminal on the

computer.
Configure the utility with the following parameters:
S 3
TEP
• 115200 bits per second (with release 1.2.7 of the firmware,
autobaud detection is enabled by default, so the switch should
detect the speed after you press Enter).

• no parity
• 1 stop bit
• no flow control
Enter a user name and password. User names and passwords are

both case sensitive and alpha-numeric. The default username is
cisco, and the default password is cisco.
If this is the first time that you have logged on with the default
S 5

Please change your password from the default
settings. Please change the password for better
protection of your network. Do you want to change
