QUICKSTART GUIDE

The console port must be connected to the computer’s serial port using a serial cable with a pin-out as shown above. Note that both ends of the cable are terminated in a DB9 pin female connector. Pins 5 of this cable are connected together while pin 2 at one end is connected to pin 3 at the other end. Once you have connected the computer’s serial port to the switch’s console port, you can launch Hyperterminal as shown below.

The Hyperterminal utility application is a convenient standard software tool that will be used to configure the Switch. This program is found on most Windows-based operating systems under Programs > Accessories > Communications > Hyperterminal.
