2.Set the communication parameters
Set the communication parameters on your terminal or terminal emulation program to:
•Baud rate: 9600
•Data bits: 8
•Parity: None
•Stop bits: 1
•Flow control: Hardware
3.Log in
After the switch has booted, the log in prompt appears. If the log in prompt doesn’t appear, press [Enter] two or three times.
When the switch boots for the first time it automatically creates an account with manager privileges. The account has the log in name “manager” and the password is “friend”.
At the log in prompt, enter the log in name and password.
Log in: manager
Password: friend
The switch’s command prompt appears and you can now configure the switch using the command line interface.
Change the password as soon as possible. Leaving the manager account with the default password is a serious security risk. Make sure that you remember the new password as there is no way to retrieve it if it is lost.
Use the following command to change the account password:
set password
4.Load help files
To access help, enter:
set
where
show file
Help files have an HLP extension. To display a list of help topics, enter:

To display help on a specific topic, enter: help topic
Alternatively, type a question mark (?) at the end of a partially completed command to see a list of valid options.
See the Rapier Switch Software Reference for more information on configuring the switch.
