3.

Connect the other end of the interface cable to a terminal (in some

instances, an adapter may be required to make this connection).

4.

From your terminal, start the terminal emulation program.

5.

Configure the terminal to the following communication settings:

VT100 emulation, 19200 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no

flow control, ASCII character set.

Remote Management via the Console Port

Configure the Switch Site - Connect the switch’s DB-9 serial port to the

modem’s serial port using standard cabling. For most modems using a

25-pin port, you will have to provide an RS-232 cable with a 9-pin

connector on one end and a 25-pin connection on the other end. You do

not have to set the modem at the switch’s site, because the switch will

automatically configure it to auto-answer mode.

Configure the Remote Site - At the remote site, connect the PC’s COM

port (COM 1-4) to the modem’s serial port. Set terminal emulation type to

VT100, specify the port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1-4), then set

communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, 19200 bps, and no

flow control.

In-Band Connections

Prior to accessing the switch via a network connection, you must

configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway

using an out-of-band connection or the BootP protocol.

Telnet Connection - Prior to accessing the switch via an in-band Telnet

connection, you must configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask,

and default gateway using an out-of-band connection or the BootP

protocol. After configuring the switch’s IP parameters, you can access the

on-board configuration program from anywhere within the attached

network

.

In-Band Network Connection - The on-board configuration program can

be accessed using Telnet from any computer attached to the network.

The switch can also be managed by any computer using a Web browser

(Internet Explorer 4.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above), or

from a network computer using third-party network management

software.

The switch must first be configured to issue BootP
requests, since the default is BootP disabled. Refer to
the Management Guide for more information.
