Step 2 Attach the DB-9 female DTE of the adapter cable to the serial port of a PC, or attach an appropriate adapter to the terminal.

Starting the Terminal Emulation Software

Before you connect to and power on the switch, start the terminal-emulation session so that you can see the output display from the POST.

The terminal-emulation software—frequently a PC application such as Hyperterminal or

ProcommPlus—makes communication between the switch and your PC or terminal possible.

Note If you started the terminal-emulation program before you powered on your switch, the PC or terminal displays the bootloader sequence. You need to press Enter to display the setup program prompt.

Follow these steps to start a terminal-emulation session:

Step 1 Launch your terminal-emulation program if you are using a PC or terminal.

Step 2 Begin a terminal-emulation session.
