CONFIGURATION
This Switch is an unmanaged, but “smart” Switch because
programmable administration parameters make it operate more
effectively than regular unmanaged (dumb) switches. This
chapter describes how to configure the Switch.

Console Port (RS-232 DCE)

The console configuration requires connecting a terminal, such as
a Workstation or a PC running a terminal emulation program
(such as HyperTerminal, which is automatically installed with
Microsoft Windows) to the RS-232 DCE console port of the
Switch.
The console port is set at the factory for the following
configuration:
Baud rate: 9,600
Data width: 8 bits
Parity: none
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
Make sure the terminal or PC you are using to make this
connection is configured to match these settings.
For example, run the Hyperterminal program packaged with
Windows 98/ME/2000/XP, the process will procede as follow:
Step 1. Click Start Accessories CommunicationsHy per
Terminal (Figure 6), and then the Connection Description
screen will be shown as Figure 7.
