Setting terminal parameters
To configure and manage the switch through the console port, you must run a terminal emulator program,
HyperTerminal or PuTTY, on your configuration terminal. You can use the emulator program to connect a

see the user guides for these programs.
The following are the required terminal settings:
• Bits per second—9,600.
• Data bits—8.
• Stop bits—1.
• Parity—None.
• Flow control—None.
