Local Console Management

Local Console Management is done through the RS-232 Console port. Managing the switch in this mode requires a direct connection between a PC and the switch. This type of management is very useful when the network is not working and the switch cannot be reached by any other means.

Using Local Console Management to log into the switch for the first time, you do not need to know the IP address. After you log in, you can configure the switch, set the IP address and perform other management functions.

The management session will timeout after five minutes if you have not taken any action. You will have to log in again after a timeout.

Perform the following steps to begin a management session using Local Console Management:

RS-232 DB-9, female connector

1.Connect the male end of the DB-9 RS-232 serial cable to the console port located at the front of the switch.

2.Connect the female end to the COM port of your PC.

3. Go to Start Program Accessories Communications HyperTerminal.

4.When the HyperTerminal window appears, double-click Hypertrm to start a new session.
