Switch Installation and Setup

2.4CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

Initial configuration of your SmartCell 6A000 switch consists of setting the name, Ethernet IP address, and subnet mask. Once these tasks are complete done, the switch can be reached through your Ethernet network for additional configuration and administration.

Perform the following steps to configure initial switch parameters:

Determine whether you will use a dumb terminal, workstation, or PC running terminal emulation

software to perform initial switch configuration.

Configure dumb terminals or PCs running emulation software with the following communication parameters:

Baud rate = 9600 Data bits = 8 Stop bits = 1

Flow control = none

Based on your choice in 1, above, plug one end of the supplied RJ-45 UTP cable into the appropriate RJ-45 adapter (see Figure 2-4)

Dumb terminal — converter labeled modem

PC with terminal software and 9-pin COM port — converter labeled PC

PC with terminal software and 25-pin COM port — converter labeled VT

UNIX workstation — converter labeled VT (you may also need a female-to-male gender changer)
