1.3 Initial set up for management

There are two ways to perform the initial setup for the Switch; one is “Out-of-Band Configuration” (connect your PC’s serial port to the Switch’s console port with the included RS-232 serial cable and run terminal communication program) and the other is “In-Band Configuration” (network a PC to the Switch and run web browser or telnet). The sections below describe how to perform both operations.

1.3.1 Out-of-Band Terminal Mode Configuration

If you are using Microsoft Windows, boot up the computer, go to “Start”, “Programs”, “Accessories”, “Communications”, and open the “HyperTerminal”. After that follow the instructions below to setup a new terminal connection for the Switch. If you are using other communication software, please select the correct COM port and setup the connection properties according to step 3 below.

1.Type in a name for the connection (e.g. SNMP Switch), select an icon for the connection, and click “OK”.

2.Select the COM port that you are using for this connection and click “OK”.

3.Setup the COM port properties by using the information below and click “OK”.
