2-1-3-1. Configuring the Management Agent of 24 Fast Ethernet + 2 Gigabit L2

Managed Switch through the Serial RS-232 Port

To perform the configuration through RS-232 console port, the switch’s serial

port must be directly connected to a DCE device, for example, a PC, through
RS-232 cable with DB-9 connector. Next, run a terminal emulator with the default
setting of the switch’s serial port. With this, you can communicate with the switch.

In the switch, RS-232 interface only supports baud rate 57.6k bps with 8 data

bits, 1 stop bit, no parity check and no flow control.











To configure the switch, please follow the procedures below:

1.

Find the RS-232 DB-9 cable with female DB-9 connector bundled.
Normally, it just uses pins 2, 3 and 7. See also Appendix B for more
details on Null Modem Cable Specifications.

2.

Attaches the DB-9 female cable connector to the male serial RS-232
DB-9 connector on the switch.

3.

Attaches the other end of the serial RS-232 DB-9 cable to PC’s serial
port, running a terminal emulator supporting VT100/ANSI terminal with
The switch’s serial port default settings. For example,
Windows98

SE/2000/XP HyperTerminal utility.


Note: The switch’s serial port default settings are listed as follows:

Baud rate

57600
