Configuring the Supervisor Module Using the CLI

To connect to the Web Agent, you must first use the serial command line interface (CLI) to give the supervisor module an IP address and a subnetwork mask. To configure the supervisor module using the CLI:

1.Attach a serial cable from your PC’s serial port to the serial port of the supervisor module front panel (refer to Figure 13.) using a 9-pin straight-through male-to-female serial cable (refer to “Switch Features, ” earlier in this guide for pinout information).

2.Run a terminal emulation program (HyperTerminal, for example) on the attached PC. Ensure that the terminal settings match those listed in Table 7.

3.Power up the switch by turning on the power supplies. In the terminal emulation program, the switch displays the following startup messages:
