3.3 Part 3 — Basic switch setting for management
After completing the hardware connections, configure the basic settings for your
switch. You can manage the switch using the following methods:
• Web interface: the switch features a set of web pages which enable easy
management via Java ® -enabled IE5.0 or higher version.
• Command Line Interface: using console port to configure the switch.
3.3.1 Setting up through the console port
1. Use the supplied crossover RS-232 cable to connect to the console port on
the back of the switch. This port is a male DB-9 connector, implemented as a
data terminal equipment (DTE) connection. Tighten the retaining screws on
the cable to secure it on the connector. Connect the other end of the cable to
a PC running terminal emulation software. e.g Hyper Terminal.
2. Use the supplied USB cable to connect to a PC. You have to install the USB
driver from the switch CD-ROM before connection. The USB driver simulates
an additional COM port under Windows Me/2K/XP OS.
3. Make sure the settings of your terminal emulation software as follows:
a) Choose the appropriate serial port number
b) Set the data baud rate to 9600
c) Set the data format to no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit
d) No flow control
e) Set VT1000 for emulation mode
4. After setting up the terminal, you can see the prompt “(ASUS)%” on the
terminal.
