To configure the switch through its serial RS-232 console port, the port must be directly connected to a DCE
device (for example, a PC, through an RS-232 cable with a DB9 connector). See Figure 3-7.
Figure 3-7. Connecting the switch's RS-232 DB9 port to a serial console.
Next, run a terminal emulator with the switch's serial port's default setting. Using this, you can communicate
with the switch.
The RS-232 interface only supports a 57.6-kbps baud rate with 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity check, and no
flow control.
To configure the switch:
1. Attach the included DB9 female cable's connector to the switch's male serial RS-232 DB9 connector.
2. Attach the other end of the serial RS-232 DB9 cable to the PC's serial port, running a terminal emulator
supporting a VT100™/ANSI terminal with the switch's serial port default settings. For example, use the
Windows® 98/2000/XP HyperTerminal utility.
3. Once the cable is connected, press the Enter key. The login prompt appears on the screen. The default
username and password are:
Username = admin
Password = admin
