NOTE

For more information about any of the commands used in this chapter, see Chapter 3, Console Command Refer- ence.

NOTE

In HyperTerminal, you must set flow control (unrelated to the switch’s flow control feature) to Xon/Xoff.

Accessing the Console

Manager

The Console Manager software is contained in the switch’s nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM). You don’t need to install any software.

To access the Console Manager:

1Use the null-modem cable (included with the switch) to connect a workstation’s COM port to the Console port on the switch.

2Open a terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal in Windows 95).

3Select the COM port and these communication parameters:

9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, Xon/Xoff flow control

(To set these parameters in HyperTerminal, choose Properties from the File menu. Then click the Configure button.)

4Press E. The login prompt appears:

Please Login username: password:

By default, no username or password is assigned. If you enter a password, it becomes active only after you reset the switch or turn off the power. If you want the password to take effect immediately, use the set-passwdcommand.

Accessing the Console Manager remotely

To access remotely through Telnet, first set the IP configuration of the switch using the set-ip-confcommand through the Console port (see page 21 for instructions). Then use Telnet to reach the switch.

All commands work as if a terminal were directly connected to the Console port. Only one console session can be active at a time (either local or remote). After the first Telnet session is established, other Telnet connections are refused until the current session is closed.
