CONFIGURATION
Unlike the unmanaged switch, FNSW-1602S performs series smart functions that make
the switch operate more effectively. This section will describe the common usage of the
Switch Smart Configuration.
3.1 Preparing for configuration
3.1.1 Connecting a PC or Terminal to the RS-232 Port
When you are ready to configure the smart functions of the switch, make sure you had
connected the supplied RS-232 serial cable to the RS-232 port at the front panel of your
FNSW-1602S Switch and your PC.
3.1.2 Terminal Emulation Setup Program
