3.3Part 3 — Basic switch setting for management

After completing the hardware connections, configure the basic settings for your switch. You can manage the switch using the following methods:

•Web interface: the switch has a set of pages to allow you to manage it using Java®-enabled IE5.0 or higher version.

•Command Line Interface: use console port to manage the switch.

3.3.1Setting up through the console port

1.Use the supplied crossover RS-232 cable to connect to the console port on the front of the switch. This port is a male DB-9 connector, implemented as a data terminal equipment (DTE) connection.

Tighten the retaining screws on the cable to secure it on the connector. Connect the other end of the cable to a PC running terminal emulation software. e.g Hyper Terminal.

2.Use the supplied USB cable to connect to a PC. You have to install the USB driver from the switch CD-ROM before the USB can work properly. The USB drivers will simulate an additional COM port under Windows ME/2K/XP OS.
