44CHAPTER 3: SETTING UP FOR MANAGEMENT

If your network does not have a DHCP or BootP server, the workstation running 3Com Network Supervisor must be on the same subnet as the Switch, because Auto-IP addresses are non-routable.

Connecting to the Alternatively, you can view the automatically configured IP information Console Port via the command line interface (CLI) through a connection to the console

port. (This example describes a local connection to the console port, rather than a remote one via a modem.)

Pre-requisites

■A workstation with terminal emulation software installed, such as Microsoft Hyperterminal. This software allows you to communicate with the Switch via the console port directly, or through a modem.

■Documentation supplied with the terminal emulation software.

■A suitable cable:

■A standard null modem cable — if you are connecting directly to the console port, or

■A standard modem cable — if you are connecting to the console port using a modem.

You can find pin-out diagrams for both cables in Appendix B on page 69.

■A Category 5 twisted pair Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors to connect your Switch to the network.

Connecting the Workstation to the Switch

1Connect the workstation to the console port using a standard null modem cable as shown in Figure 17.

To connect the cable:

aAttach the female connector on the cable to the male connector on the console port of the Switch.
