2. Connect the other end of the cable to an RS-232 port on a terminal or
a personal computer with a terminal emulation program.

Baud rate: Default is 9600 bps (Range is 9600 to 115200 bps)
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1

Starting a Telnet
Management
Session
Setting the stack ID number from a Telnet management session requires
Telnet client software on your computer. This procedure assumes that you
will be connecting your computer to a twisted pair port on the switch. To
start a Telnet management session on the switch using the factory IP
address:
1. Assign your management workstation the IP address 169.254.n.n, with
the subnet mask 255.255.0.0. The variable n can be from 1 to 255.
You may not use the switch’s IP address 169.254.1.1. Refer to your
computer’s documentation for instructions on how to set the IP
address.
