Managing the DES-5200
Fast Ethernet Switching System User’s Guide
Console Management
Console Management is always done through the RS-232 serial port and requires a direct connection between the DES-5200 and a PC. This type of management is very useful when the network is down and the DES-5200 cannot be reached by any other means.
Use Console Management to log into the DES-5200 for the first time. You do not need to know the IP address to log in using Console Management. You can change all the settings and configure the DES-5200, 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 or Control + r to refresh the screen. You will have to log in again after a timeout.
Follow these steps to begin a management session using Console Management:
1.Attach the male end of the RS-232 serial cable provided with the DES-5200 to the RS-232 port located at the front of the DES-5200.
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
∙Parity: None
∙Stop bits: 1
∙Flow Control: Xon/Xoff
∙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
6.Press Enter to reach the Main menu.
