By default, the hub automatically configures the baud rate of its console port to operate with the connected terminal or modem, provided the parity, stop bits and character size are identical to the connected terminal or modem.

If you are using Telnet or SLIP, the wake-up procedure is performed automatically.

When the wake-up procedure is successfully completed, the main banner is displayed, as shown in Figure 5-2.

Press [Return] to display the Logon screen.
