Starting the Terminal-Emulation Software

Before you power on the switch, start the terminal emulation session so that you can see the output display from the power-on self-test (POST).

The terminal-emulation software—frequently a PC application such as Hyperterminal or

ProcommPlus—makes communication between the switch and your PC or terminal possible.

Follow these steps to start a terminal-emulation session:

Step 1 Start the terminal-emulation program if you are using a PC or terminal.

Step 2 Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match these console port default characteristics:

•9600 baud

•8 data bits

•1 stop bit

•No parity

•None (flow control)
