Troubleshooting a Serial Management Connection 39
Troubleshooting a Serial Management Connection
If a command prompt does not appear when attempting to initiate a
serial management connection, do the following:
1Verify that the WX switch is powered on.
2Verify that the serial cable is fully inserted in the PC and WX switch ports.
3Verify that the correct modem settings are configured in the terminal
emulation application:
9600 bps
8 bits
1 stop
No parity
Hardware flow con trol disabled
4Verify that you opened the connection on the PC port connected to the
WX switch.
For example, if you inserted the cable in PC port COM1, make sure you
open the connection on COM1 instead of COM2 or another port.
If none of the previous steps results in a management connection, use
another serial cable.
Connecting to the Network
Use the following procedures to connect a WX switch to MAP access
points or other 10/100 Ethernet devices and to gigabit Ethernet devices.
Connecting to a MAP
or Other
10/100 Ethernet
Device
The 10/100 Ethernet ports are configured as wired network ports by
default. You must change the port type for locally connected MAP access
points, and for wired end stations that use AAA through the WX switch
to access the network.
