console port connection:

1Ensure you have connected your workstation to the console port correctly as described in “Connecting to the Console Port” on page 38.

2Your Switch is now ready to continue being managed and/or configured through the CLI via its console port.

using Telnet:

1Ensure you have already set up the Switch with IP information as described in “Setting Up Overview” on page 32.

2Check that you have the IP protocol correctly installed on your management workstation. You can check this by trying to browse the World Wide Web. If you can browse, the IP protocol is installed.

3Check you can communicate with the Switch by entering a ping command at the DOS prompt in the following format:

c:\ ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the Switch)

If you get an error message, check that your IP information has been entered correctly and the Switch is powered up.
