Pre-requisites

■A workstation with terminal emulation software installed, such as Microsoft Hyperterminal. This software allows you to communicate with the Switch via the console port directly, or through a modem.

■Documentation supplied with the terminal emulation software.

■A suitable cable:

■A standard null modem cable — if you are connecting directly to the console port, or

■A standard modem cable — if you are connecting to the console port using a modem.

You can find pin-out diagrams for both cables in Appendix B on page 67.

■You need to have the following so that you can manually set up the Switch with IP information:

■IP address

■subnet mask

■default gateway

Connecting the Workstation to the Switch

1Connect the workstation to the console port using a standard null modem cable as shown in Figure 11.

Figure 11 Connecting a workstation to the Switch via the console port

To connect the cable:

aAttach the female connector on the cable to the male connector on the console port of the Switch.

bTighten the retaining screws on the cable to prevent it from being loosened.

cConnect the other end of the cable to one of the serial ports (also known as a COM port) on your workstation.
