3.Plug the other end of the console cable into the management console’s DTE port.

4.When you are ready to begin configuring the XP-2000, use procedures in Chapter 3, Firmware Installation and Setup, to power on the switch and boot the software. You will perform initial setup by entering CLI commands on the management console.
