To connect a terminal to the console port:
1. Connect the female connector of the RS-232 cable directly to the console port on the Switch,
and tighten the captive retaining screws.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a terminal or to the serial connector of a computer
running terminal emulation software. Set the terminal emulation software as follows:
3. Select the appropriate serial port (COM port 1 or COM port 2).
4. Set the data rate to 9600 baud.
5. Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
6. Set flow control to none.
7. Under Properties, select VT100 for Emulation mode.
8. Select Terminal keys for Function, Arrow, and Ctrl keys. Ensure that you select Terminal keys
(not Windows keys).
NOTE: When you use HyperTerminal with the Microsoft® Windows® 2000
operating system, ensure that you have Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 or
later installed. Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 allows you to use arrow keys
in
information on Windows 2000 service packs.
9. After you have correctly set up the terminal, plug the power cable into the power receptacle on
the back of the Switch. The boot sequence appears in the terminal.
10. After the boot sequence completes, the console login screen displays.
11. If you have not logged into the command line interface (CLI) program, press the Enter key at
the User name and password prompts. There is no default user name and password for the
Switch. The administrator must first create user names and passwords. If you have previously
set up user accounts, log in and continue to configure the Switch.
12. Enter the commands to complete your desired tasks. Many commands require administrator-
level access privileges. Read the next section for more information on setting up user accounts.
See the DES-3526 Command Line Interface Reference Manual on the documentation CD for
a list of all commands and additional information on using the CLI.
13. When you have completed your tasks, exit the session with the logout command or close the
emulator program.
