3.Connect the other end of the interface cable to a terminal (in some instances, an adapter may be required to make this connection).

4.From your terminal, start the terminal emulation program.

5.Configure the terminal to the following communication settings: VT100 emulation, 19200 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow control, ASCII character set.

Remote Management via the Console Port

Configure the Switch Site - Connect the switch’s DB-9 serial port to the modem’s serial port using standard cabling. For most modems using a 25-pin port, you will have to provide an RS-232 cable with a 9-pin connector on one end and a 25-pin connection on the other end. You do not have to set the modem at the switch’s site, because the switch will automatically configure it to auto-answer mode.

Configure the Remote Site - At the remote site, connect the PC’s COM port (COM 1-4) to the modem’s serial port. Set terminal emulation type to VT100, specify the port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1-4), then set communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, 19200 bps, and no flow control.

In-Band Connections

Prior to accessing the switch via a network connection, you must configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway using an out-of-band connection or the BootP protocol.

The switch must first be configured to issue BootP requests, since the default is BootP disabled. Refer to the Management Guide for more information.

Telnet Connection - Prior to accessing the switch via an in-band Telnet connection, you must configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway using an out-of-band connection or the BootP protocol. After configuring the switch’s IP parameters, you can access the on-board configuration program from anywhere within the attached network.

In-Band Network Connection - The on-board configuration program can be accessed using Telnet from any computer attached to the network. The switch can also be managed by any computer using a Web browser (Internet Explorer 4.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above), or from a network computer using third-party network management software.
