Local Console Management

Local Console Management is always done through the RS-232 serial port and requires a direct connection between the DES-5016 and a PC. This type of management is very useful when the network is down and the DES-5016 cannot be reached by any other means.

Use Local Console Management to log into the DES-5016 for the first time. You do not need to know the IP address to log into the DES-5016 using Local Console Management. You can change all the settings and configure the DES-5016, set the IP address and perform other management functions. The management session will timeout after five minutes if you have not taken any action. Press enter a few times to refresh the screen. You will have to log in again after a timeout.

Follow these steps to begin a management session using Local Console Management:

1.Attach the male end of the RS-232 serial cable provided with the DES-5016 to the RS-232 port located at the front of the DES-5016.

2.Attach the other end to the serial port of a PC or workstation.

3.Run a terminal emulation program using the following settings:

∙Emulation: VT-100/ANSI compatible

∙BPS: 19 200

∙Data bits: 8

∙Parity: None

∙Stop bits: 1

∙Flow Control: None

∙Enable: Terminal keys

4.Press Enter to display the login panel.

5.Log in using the default User Name and Password. The User Name and Password are case sensitive.

∙User Name: D-Link

∙Default Password: D-Link

5. Press Enter to reach the Main menu.
