2.1.3. Management options available with the POEGEM12T2SFP

The POEGEM12T2SFP switch supports multiple management options to allow administrators to quickly configure and monitor the switch and network performance. There are four management options available including RS-232 console, Command Line Interface (CLI), SNMP or via the built in Web Management. The following procedures will briefly describe how each method can be performed and will also be discussed in more detail later in this manual.

Section 2-1-3-1: Configuring the POEGEM12T2SFP through the RS-232 serial port.

Section 2-1-3-2: Configuring the POEGEM12T2SFP through the Ethernet port.

2.1.3.1. Configuring the POEGEM12T2SFP through the RS-232 serial port

When configuring the POEGEM12T2SFP via the RS-232 console please connect the switch via the provided serial cable to a DCE device such as a PC. Once you have connection run a terminal emulation program such as Hyper Terminal. When connecting to the switch please use the serial settings of the switch to create the connection, the default settings are below:

Baud Rate: 57600

Data Bits: 8

Parity: None

Stop Bits: 1

Flow Control: None

By pressing Enter you will now be prompted to login to the switch.

The default username and password for the switch is:

Username: admin

Password: admin

The RS-232 console port on the switch is mainly used for the initial setup of the switch including setting the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway. It is recommended that all other management duties that need to be performed should be done via the Web Management or CLI.
