Step 2 Start the terminal emulation session so that you can see the output display from the power-on self-test (POST). The terminal-emulation software—a PC application such as Hyperterminal or ProcommPlus—makes communication between the switch and your PC or terminal possible.

Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match these console port default characteristics:

9600 baud

8 data bits

1 stop bit

No parity

None (flow control)

Step 3 Go to the “Waiting for POST to Complete” section on page 15 to finish configuring the switch.
