2-1-4. Configuring the Management Agent of SM8P-SFP
We offer you three ways to startup the switch management function. They
are RJ-45 console, CLI, and Web. Users can use any one of them to monitor and
configure the switch. You can touch them through the following procedures.
Section 2-1-4-1: Configuring the Management Agent of SM8P-SFP through the
Console RJ-45 Port
Section 2-1-4-2: Configuring the Management Agent of SM8P-SFP through the
Ethernet Port
Note: Please first modify the IP address, Subnet mask, Default gateway and DNS
through RJ-45 console, and then do the next.
2-1-4-1. Configuring the Management Agent of SM8P-SFP through the Console
RJ-45 Port
To perform the configuration through RJ-45 console port, the switch’s
console port must be directly connected to a DCE device, for example, a PC,
through RJ-45 transform RS-232 cable with RJ-45 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, RJ-45 interface only supports baud rate 115200 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 RJ-45 transform RS-232 cable with RJ-45 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 RJ-45 transform RS-232 cable connector to the RJ-45
Console connector on the switch.
3. Attaches the other end of the RJ-45 transform RS-232 cable to PC’s
serial port, running a terminal emulator supporting VT100/ANSI terminal
with The switch’s serial port default settings. For example,
Windows98/2000/XP HyperTerminal utility.
